Chicken breasts with pineapple and parsley are baked under a lightly sweet fruit topping. Halve the chicken breasts, sear them quickly, and place them in an ovenproof baking dish. Cover them with a thick mixture of onion sautéed in butter, finely chopped canned pineapple, sour cream, egg yolks, parsley, and breadcrumbs. Bake at 180 °C (350 °F), covered at first, then uncovered until golden brown. One dish serves four.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Drain the pineapple and chop it into small pieces. Finely chop the parsley. Cut the chicken breasts in half through the middle and season both halves with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté the finely chopped onion in the butter, remove from the heat, and add the pineapple, sour cream, and egg yolks. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the parsley and enough breadcrumbs to make a thick mixture.
  3. Quickly sear the chicken breasts in the hot oil and arrange them in an ovenproof baking dish. Cover with the pineapple mixture. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for about 25 minutes, covered at first so the meat becomes tender, then uncovered toward the end until golden brown.
  4. Serve with canned pineapple.

Tip: Let the onion cool briefly after removing it from the heat, and stir in the egg yolks only when the mixture is lukewarm so they do not scramble into lumps. Gently squeeze the drained pineapple to remove excess liquid.
