Pineapple Baked Chicken

Ingredients:

2/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1-1/2 tablespoons honey
1-1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 scallions, thinly sliced (can substitute onions)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a shallow baking dish, just large enough to hold the chicken breasts, whisk together all ingredients. Add the chicken to the pan, spooning the juice over the top.
Bake about 25 minutes or until cooked through.
Serve with pan juices and scallions scattered on top.
Handy Hint: Recipe can also be made in a skillet with chopped chicken pieces instead of whole breasts. Also, make it a meal by serving with brown rice and steamed broccoli.
