When you make this juicy chicken recipe, use the leg quarters for dinner tonight and save the breast portions to make Chicken Salad with Lemon-Yogurt Dressing tomorrow.

  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Saute chicken in two batches until golden, 5 to 7 minutes per batch, transferring each batch to a rimmed baking sheet.

  • Bake until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

  • Wipe skillet clean; add pineapple juice, ginger, and jalapeno. Cook over medium heat until syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 7 minutes. Pour sauce over chicken. Add scallions; toss to coat. Serve with white rice, if desired.

I’ve made this a few times and each time I love it. I would cut one extra scallion to sprinkle fresh on top. When not using a whole chicken or two (reserving for the recipe suggested) I just use thighs &/or legs. Very tasty and easy.

Don'e be afraid to try this recipe! It is a family pleaser and a working mom/wife's dream. So easy, so good, and no leftovers. My husband and children ages 3 and 7 loved it. I used the entire chicken, not just the legs and thighs, and it turned out great. I would recommend making double sauce so you may have some for the rice. I will be adding this to my monthly dinner menu!!!!

I fixed this for supper last night after seeing the recipe on the Martha show. (I happened to have thighs and legs defrosting). This recipe was simple, delicious and quick. My husband worked on the chicken while I prepared the sauce. All my children (ages 19 - 9) loved it. We served it with rice and steamed green beans. Some of boys drizzled the sauce over the green beans as well.

sounds like something my husband would like. it's good to know more ways to dress up chicken. it seems to be the same thing over and over again.

ATTENTION: YOU CAN DROP THE PEPPERS, AND FORGET THE RICE AND HAVE BREAST INSTEAD OF WHOLE CHICKEN. OR HAVE A NICE WILD RICE RECIPE INSTEAD.
