Pineapple Skillet Chicken

Summer may be winding down but there is still time to make this Skillet Pineapple Chicken. I mean I love this dish year round… but especially in the summer. There is just something about pineapple in the summer… a match made in heaven for sure.

All in the Skillet (& a baggie)

Some of my most favorite meals are one skillet meals. They make weeknight dinners super easy, they are super fast to clean-up and typically are loaded with tons of flavors.

This Pineapple Chicken is all that and more.

Don’t skimp on the salsa!

One of my favorite parts of this dish is the fresh pineapple salsa. It is a little sweet, a little spicy and perfect with the skillet chicken. I also used the salsa, with its residual juice, the next day on my salad with some leftover chicken for a quick lunch.

To amp up the salsa I used Chili Crisp and let me tell you… it is AMAZING!! You can use as much or as little as you want, but trust me you will love it.

Rice or no rice?

I love to serve this over Coconut Rice, but regular white or brown rice works just as good. I do love coconut rice though… it is so rice & creamy and a perfect pairing with this sweet & spicy chicken.

If rice is not your thing you could serve it with your favorite veggie, quinoa or just on it’s own.
