Pineapple Chicken Casserole

This is a good refreshing summer chicken casserole recipe.
Ingredients

4 chicken breasts cut into small portions,sliced into thinner portions along their length

2 tablespoons of plain flour

1 teaspoon of paprika

1 teaspoon of salt

fresh ground pepper

2 tablespoons of olive oil

grated rind of 1 orange

the fruit of 1 orange sliced

1/2 pint of fresh orange juice

the diced fruit of half a fresh pineapple or a large tin of crushed pineapple

Method

Put the flour, salt, pepper and paprika into a plastic bag and toss the chicken pieces in it so they are well coated with the mixture.

Heat the oil in frying pan and fry the pieces of chicken until they golden in colour and sealed.

Place the chicken into a casserole dish.

Add the grated orange rind, orange juice and the pineapple pieces.

I now cover the casserole with foil and put on the lid.

I cooked for 45 minutes to 1 hour in the centre of my gas oven at gas 4-350F-180C, until the chicken is very tender.

Garnish with the sliced oranges.

I serve with new potatoes with fresh mint sauce( see my chutney blog for this) and a green vegetable such as kale, broccoli, cabbage or peas. Any fresh seasonal vegetable.

Hope you enjoy this fresh chicken casserole recipe.
