Pineapple Salsa Chicken




So first off, I'd just like to say this dinner is SOOO freakin easy! If you can't already tell, I love easy.  I mean, after working a 9 hr day and then going to the gym I'm READY to eat.  So if you put the chicken breasts out in the morning to thaw from their popsicle state, it's PERFECT for a quick dinner.


To begin:
   Take one can of pineapple chunks plus the juice and dump it into a bowl. 









Then take about 1/2 cup -3/4 cup salsa and mix those two killer ingredients together (i usually choose a milder salsa, because it goes with the taste of the pineapple better in my opinion).  You can play with the balance of the two depending on your personal preference. 
    Then add about 1 1/2 tsp of curry. Yes curry.  Sounds like a strange mixture, but just trust me here.  Now, curry can go HORRIBLY wrong if there's too much, so start out light on the curry.



 Mix this combo all together and then just pour over chicken breasts in some sort of baking dish.  The smaller the better (as small as will fit all of the chicken breasts flat) because then the juices reach more of the chicken.  






Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until center is no longer pink. Serve the pineapple that you cooked the chicken in as a side and it's COMPLETE :)
