How to Make 5 Points Plus Pineapple And Honey Glazed Chicken

1. In a large resealable bag, combine 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 minced shallot, and 1/2-1 jalapeño, finely minced (adjust to your spice preference).
2. Add 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) to the bag. Marinate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place a wire rack inside a large roasting pan.
4. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the marinade. Place chicken on the wire rack.
5. Bake chicken for 45-50 minutes, or until cooked through and browned, basting with reserved marinade twice during the first 25 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
7. Transfer cooked chicken to a platter and keep warm.
8. Remove the rack from the roasting pan. Skim excess fat from the pan juices.
9. Pour pan juices into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until the juices reduce by half.
10. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
11. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
12. Serve the chicken immediately, generously drizzled with the delicious pineapple honey glaze. Enjoy! (5 points per serving)
