Pineapple Chicken

I know that a lot of people are always looking for something new to do with chicken. It's a family favorite in just about everyone's family. So here's a new chicken recipe for you. We tried it last night, and it was pretty good. Brandon liked it, which is a plus, and I think it was decent and needs some tweaking. Give it a try and see what you think!

What You'll Need: 

Chicken for six (I used four large chicken breasts, cut up)
Olive oil
2 8 oz cans crushed pineapple in juice
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup brown mustard
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp melted butter
Paprika
White rice, for serving


How to Make It: 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Get the chicken ready for cooking by trimming any fat and cutting it up if you'd like. Brush a little olive oil in a 9x13 pan, and place the chicken inside. In a bowl, whisk together the broth, mustard, and honey, and stir in the pineapple. Pour over the chicken, and drizzle the melted butter over that. Sprinkle with some paprika, and throw it in the oven for 40 minutes or until the chicken is done. Serve it with rice, and put out some Polynesian sauce or Hawaiian barbecue sauce if you have it (I thought the taste was really mild so I had mine with a little barbecue sauce!) I think that it would also taste really good served with egg rolls, but we didn't have any on hand. : )
