CHICKEN BREAST TROPIC-ORIENTAL 
1 pkg. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 med. onion, sliced
Fresh pineapple, sliced
Fresh gingerroot, peeled and chopped
Soy sauce (optional)

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In a baking dish coated with vegetable oil spray, arrange one layer of onion slices sprinkled with half of the chopped gingerroot. Arrange the chicken breasts on top of this and top them with remaining onion, pineapple slices, and remaining gingerroot.

If desired, sprinkle soy sauce lightly over all.

Cover tightly and bake 30 minutes. Check to ensure doneness by piercing largest chicken breast with a fork. When juices run clear, meat is done. If overcooked, meat will be less tender and juicy.

(Option: Remove meat and large pieces of pineapple and onion from baking dish and add 2 teaspoons cornstarch combined with 2 teaspoons cool water to the juices. Stir over medium heat until sauce is bubbly and thickened.)

Serve immediately with steamed rice.
