Yield: Makes 4 servings
ingredients
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons (packed) brown sugar
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
3/4 cup 1/4-inch cubes fresh pineapple
3 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
1 1/2 tablespoons canned sliced jalapeño chiles, drained, coarsely chopped
4 boneless chicken breast halves with skin (1 3/4 pounds total)
preparation

Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring pineapple juice, brown sugar, and mustard to boil in small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Boil until glaze has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.

Mix pineapple, red pepper, cilantro, onion, and chiles in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Line baking sheet with foil. Place chicken on sheet and brush with glaze. Bake 15 minutes. Brush again with glaze, then broil until cooked through and golden, watching closely to avoid burning, about 5 minutes longer. Let rest 5 minutes.

Spoon salsa over chicken and serve.

**I made this over the stove by pounding the chicken and lightly coating in flour then putting in a pan until cooked on both sides, then adding the glaze. It seemed quicker and was delicious. I served this with rice and green beans sauteed in sesame oil and garlic. Great dish! I even enjoyed the pineapple based salsa (pretty good for a picky eater)! The jalapenos were not hot (i took the seeds out) and I spiced it up a little with red pepper flakes in the glaze. Unique flavors.
