Roasted Pineapple and Fennel Chicken Tenders

I like to serve this savory and sweet dish with rice or folded in soft corn tortillas with a dollop of salsa.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 medium head of fennel, sliced 1/4-inch thick
  • 2 cups 1/2-inch cubed fresh pineapple
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 large jalapeno, seeded and diced
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • Cilantro leaves and lime wedges, for garnish

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Toss together the chicken, fennel, pineapple, olive oil, lime juice, and jalapeno. Season with salt and pepper.

Place in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and roast for 35 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Serve garnished with cilantro and lime.
