Steps:

• Cut up chicken in pieces and wash in cold water with a piece of lemon.
• Rinse well in cold water and place in a large bowl.
• Season with salt, pepper one clove garlic (crushed), vinegar and thyme. Allow to marinate for 3 hours.
• In a large skillet, heat margarine and add sugar; when very hot, brown chicken.
• In another fry pan, heat some oil and fry cashews and set aside.
• In the same pan, fry together the garlic, mushrooms, onions and ginger.
• Add wine and about ¼ cup water to the original cooking skillet.
• Add chicken and cook for about 25 minute until chicken is tender.
• Thicken with a little flour softened with some warm water.

Steps:

• Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Set aside. Rinse chicken; pat dry. IN a plastic bag combine flour, 1 teaspoons curry powder, 1/2 teaspoons alt, and pepper. Add chicken breasts, one at a time, and shake to coat well.
• IN a large, heavy skillet brown the chicken on both sides in hot oil over medum-high heat. Remove chicken from skillet. IN the oil remaining in the skillet, cook green pepper, onion, and garlic till tender but not brown. Stir in drained pineapple (saving juice), undrained tomatoes, currants, 1 tablespoons curry powder, crushed red pepper, and 1/8 teaspoons salt. Bring mixture to a boiling; return chicken to the skillet. Cover and simmr for 8-12 minutes, or till chicken is tender and no pink remains. Remove chicken from skillet; keep warm.
• Stir together cornstarch and reserved pineapple juice; add to tomato mixture. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Serve sauce over chicken. If desired, garnish with cashews.

Steps:

• Drain the juice from the pineapple chunks into a zip-lock bag big enough to hold the chicken. Reserve the pineapple to add later. To the juice add rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic, ginger, cloves and red pepper flakes. Stir or mush up the bag to blend.
• Add the chicken, turning to coat well. Place in refrigerator skin side down to marinade for 3-6 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375*. Saving the marinade, remove the chicken and place skin side up in a shallow baking dish.
• Bake, uncovered, basting often with the pan juices and leftover marinade for 30-35 minutes.
• Add the reserved pineapple chunks and mandarin oranges to the pan and bake 5-10 minutes more - until the chicken is no longer pink near the bone.
• Serve the chicken with pan juices basted over, along with the fruit. I like to serve this over rice (especially coconut rice). You can garnish with sliced lime for presentation.

Steps:

• 1. Drain the pineapple, reserving the liquid. Store pineapple chunks in the refrigerator.
• 2. Combine the pineapple juice, rum, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cloves, and red pepper in a medium bowl; stir well.
• 3. Place chicken in a 13x9x2 inch baking dish. Pour the marinade mixture over the chicken; cover tightly, and marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
• 4. Drain the chicken, reserving marinade. Place the marinade in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 3 minutes. Set marinade aside.
• 5. Bake chicken, uncovered, at 375° for 40 minutes, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Add reserved pineapple chunks and orange segments to chicken. Bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is done. Garnish if desired with lime wedges.
