Step 1

CHICKEN: Add olive oil to saute pan or cast iron skillet. Heat pan to medium high heat.

Step 2

Add chicken to hot pan. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and dried parsley on top of each breast. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Flip. Cook other side until browned, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken over so your herbed side is facing up. Turn off heat.

Step 3

PINEAPPLE GINGER SAUCE: Peel your ginger knob. (You don't need to dice it as it will blend just fine once peeled.) It should be between 1 and 1 1/4 inches in length.

Step 4

Add all sauce ingredients to blender. Blend until smooth.

Step 5

TO FINISH: Pour blended sauce into the pan with your chicken. Add cup of chopped pineapple around chicken. Reduce heat to medium low or low. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Sauce will reduce a bit.

Step 6

Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve!

Step 7

NOTES: Why medjool dates versus other kinds of dates? Medjool dates are picked early which means they tend to be very soft. This makes them awesome for blending and creating sauces. Yes, it does matter what kind of date you use!
