A delightful chicken dish with a tropical twist, perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.
Combine the water, honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and red pepper flakes in a mixing bowl.
Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even flavor distribution.
Cut the pineapple into slices and then halve each slice.
Use a sharp knife to make clean cuts and avoid crushing the pineapple.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly brown the pineapple slices on both sides.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the pineapple to achieve a nice caramelization.
Rub the chicken breasts with minced garlic and coat them in flour.
Shake off excess flour to prevent clumping during cooking.
In the same skillet, brown the chicken on both sides over medium heat.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even browning.
Pour the prepared sauce mixture into the skillet and return the chicken to the pan. Simmer over low heat for 12-15 minutes, turning the chicken once.
Keep the heat low to prevent the sauce from burning.
Serve the chicken topped with the sautéed pineapple slices and garnished with fresh cilantro.
Serve with a side of rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
