Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs, approx. 6 oz (170 g) each - 1 cup (165 g) pineapple chunks - 1 cup (115 g) shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the pineapple chunks in a single layer in a baking dish and nestle the chicken thighs among the pineapple. 2. Bake uncovered 30–40 minutes until chicken is cooked through and pineapple releases juice and begins to caramelize. 3. Evenly sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the thighs and pineapple, then return to the oven (or under a broiler briefly) until the cheese is melted and lightly golden, about 3–6 minutes. 4. Let rest a few minutes and serve each thigh topped with pineapple and melted Cheddar.
