Ingredients
Chicken:
-
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon garlic salt
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon chili powder
-
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Rice:
-
1 cup uncooked white rice
-
1 1/2 cups water
-
1 (8 ounce can) sliced pineapple in juice, drained, divided
-
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 teaspoon olive oil
-
1 pinch garlic salt, or more to taste
-
1 pinch ground black pepper, or more to taste
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Make the chicken: Mix brown sugar, pepper, thyme, cumin, garlic salt, paprika, chili powder, and nutmeg in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Rub mixture onto both sides of chicken breasts and place into a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning mix on top of chicken if desired.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is lightly browned, no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
-
Meanwhile, make the rice: Bring rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
-
Chop 1/2 of the pineapple slices. Mix chopped pineapple, cilantro, and olive oil into the cooked rice, then season with garlic salt and black pepper. Fluff rice with a fork and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with the baked chicken and top with the remaining pineapple slices.
