Pui cu ananas la cuptor / Baked pineapple chicken

Pentru ca aveam niste ananas proaspat pe care Ilinca nu a vrut sa il manance, am zis sa il folosesc cumva si sa incerc ceva exotic: pui cu ananas la cuptor :) Nu prea ma dau in vant dupa combinatiile de carne cu fructe, mai degraba prefer legume in prajituri, insa am zis sa fac ceva wild, sa imi depasesc limitele, gen…. :))) Pui cu ananas la cuptor, suculent si usor dulceag, mmmmmmm, chiar bun :)

Ingrediente (4 portii):

• 600g piept de pui
• 1/2 de ananas mediu*
• 150ml ketchup fara zahar (preferatul meu e acesta)
• 75ml otet din cidru de mere
• 50ml sos de soia
• 3 lg indulcitor brun
• 1 bucatica de 3 cm ghimbir
• 2 catei de usturoi
• 1 ardei gras
• 2 cepe verzi
• 1 ceapa
• sare, piper

Mod de preparare

Facem amestecul pentru marinata din ketchup, indulcitor, sosul de soia* (sau sos tamari pt varianta fara gluten), otet, ghimbir ras fin, usturoiul pisat, puutina sare si putin piper. Mozolim bine carnea de pui taiata cubulete si o tinem in frigider timp de 2 ore, amestecand putin la jumatatea timpului.

Asezam carnea de pui intr-o tava, turnam restul de sos, adaugam cubulete de ananas*, ardeiul tocat, ceapa, ceapa verde si coacem totul cam 40-50 min la 180C, pana puiul e fraged si suculent, cu ventilatia pornita in ultimele minute, pentru a se rumeni frumos.

*Puteti folosi si ananas la conserva, acesta de exemplu NU are zahar adaugat, contine doar ananas si suc de ananas :) Noi cumparam frecvent, pentru ca ai mei sunt fani ananas la conserva si o varianta fara zahar e binevenita.

Eu am servit puiul cu ceapa verde, mi-a placut combinatia dulce si crocanta :) Merge foarte bine cu orez, dar si cu o salata verde. Pofta mare!

ENGLISH VERSION

I had some fresh pineapple Ilinca didn’t want to eat so I thought I’d make something special out of it, I tried a rather exotic dish: baked chicken pineapple :) Now, I am not a big fan of fruit in savory dishes, I prefer veggie sin desserts, but this baked pineapple chicken is juicy and sweet, kinda delicious :) Check out the Carnivore style website for more cool and exciting information about this type of diet! They’re really great :)

Ingredients (4 servings):

• 600g chicken breast
• 1/2 medium pineapple
• 150 ml sugar free ketchup
• 75 ml apple cider vinegar
• 50 ml soy sauce
• 3 tbsp brown sweetener
• 1 piece of ginger, 3 cm thick
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 bell pepper
• 2 spring onions
• 1 onion
• salt, pepper

Make the marinade from the ketchup, sweetener, soy sauce, vinegar, grated ginger, mashed garlic cloves, a little salt and pepper. Evenly coat the chopped chicken meat in this marinade and place them in the fridge for 2 hours, giving them a sir halfway.

Place the chicken meat in a baking dish, pour the leftover marinade over them, add the chopped pineapple, bell pepper, onion and spring onions and bake everything for about 40-50 min at 180 C, ventilation on in the last mins, until lovely golden brown.

I served my baked pineapple chicken with spring onions, I like the sweet crunchy combination :) Rice or lettuce salad are also great side dishes for this. Enjoy!
