    Ingredients

      6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
      1 piece fresh ginger (3")
      sliced into 1/4" pieces
      2/3 C pineapple juice
      2 T reduced-sodium soy sauce
      1 T sesame seeds
      1 C pineapple chunks
      3 green onions sliced (including greens)


    Coat a large nonstick frying pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the chicken and ginger cook, turning every few minutes, until the chicken is well browned on both sides, about 10 minutes.

    In a small bowl, stir together pineapple juice and soy sauce. Pour into the frying pan and bring to a boil.

    Cover and cook 3 minutes. Uncover, add sesame seeds, pineapple chunks and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until it is opaque throughout and the liquid remaining in the pan has reduced to a glaze, about 5 minutes.

    Arrange chicken, ginger and pineapple on a large platter. Spoon glaze over each piece of chicken & garnish with green onion.
