Quick Caribbean Pineapple Chicken

This is a quick adaptation of an old favorite. This looks like you spent a lot more time in front of your stove. Can be quite pretty to look at too!!

Steps

Mix water , honey , soy sauce , lime juice , coconut extract and red pepper.
Set aside.
Cut pineapple slices in half.
In a nonstick skillet , saut in oil over medium heat until slightly browned.
Set aside.
Rub chicken breasts with garlic.
Dredge in flour until thoroughly coated.
In pan juices , saut chicken over medium heat until browned , about 2 minutes.
Turn and brown other side.
Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
Rinse or wipe pan.
Cooking the flour also prevents a pasty flavor.
Pour honey-soy mixture into pan.
Return chicken to pan and simmer in honey mixture for 12-15 minutes over low heat.
Turn chicken once during cooking being careful not to tear the coating.
If the heat is too high , the mixture bubbles vigorously and burns , ruining the flavor of the dish.
Serve over rice.
Serve with snow peas or broccoli , arranged decoratively with pineapple.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cilantro and crushed red pepper , if desired.
