I am all about eating healthy and fantastic chicken recipes. Here is a new one that we like:
Pineapple-Agave Glazed Chicken
2-3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 T soy-sauce
2 T agave nectar*
1 T fresh grated ginger (you should always have a fresh ginger root in your fridge!!)
1 minced shallot
1/2 C crushed pineapple
2 T fresh chopped flat leaf parsley
1 t corn starch
2 t cold water
Method:
Combine: soy-sauce, agave nectar, ginger, pineapple, shallot in a ziplock bag and add chicken. Marinate for at least 2 hours, but more is better. Bake in a 350F oven for about 30 mins or till chicken is done thru. When the chicken is done remove to a plate and take the pan juices and put them in a sauce pan on the stove. When the liquid comes to a boil add the corn starch and water that you have pre-mixed. When the liquid thickens, about 2-3 mins, add the parsley and remove from the heat and pour over the chicken. Serve with rice.
*Agave nectar is a natural sweetner made from the agave plant. If you are world wise, you will also know that agave is used in the production of tequila, although, the nectar is non-alcoholic. I like the nectar, which is like a light honey. It's good too because it does not crystalize like honey, so you can keep it on the shelf forever. Agave nectar can be found at Whole Foods or Wild Oats or perhaps Trader Joes, by the sweetners like Stevia. If you can't find agave necatr, use honey.
This is also a Weight Watchers recipe, the nutrition info is: 1 breast + 2T sauce = 5 pts, add 1/2 white or brown rice add 2pts.
