Cuban-Style Chicken, quick and easy. Add a veggie-filled salad and rice for a complete meal.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Diced fresh pineapple

2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Orange marmalade

1 (15-ounce) can Black beans, rinsed and drained

1/4 teaspoon Ground red pepper, divided

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1/2 teaspoon Paprika

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Cooking spray

1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan; add 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Keep warm.

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Combine the remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper, salt, and paprika, and sprinkle evenly over chicken. Coat the chicken with cooking spray. Add chicken to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until done. Serve with bean mixture; sprinkle with cilantro.

Cook's Notes

Toss a green salad while the chicken cooks, then serve it with rice for a complete meal. To save time, use drained canned pineapple tidbits in place of fresh fruit.
