Quick and Easy Chicken Recipe

Today I'd like to share with you one of my favorite recipes for those busy days where it's a challenge to find the time to cook!

I tend to save this recipe as an occasional treat, because it's rather sweet! It is, however, absolutely delicious - and what I like to do is make up the pineapple sauce in the morning and leave it in the fridge. That way - when it gets to dinner-cooking time (which is the busiest time of day for 99% of moms!) then all I need to do is throw the sauce on the chicken at the appropriate moment!

This recipe goes great with jasmine rice and a vegetable of your choice (I like it with green beans!).

You will need...

6 chicken thighs or drumsticks (you can also make this with 4 chicken breasts - just add on an extra 15 minutes to the cooking time after you've added the glaze)
2 tbsp butter, melted
salt and pepper to taste
2 cans crushed pineapple (approx 16 oz total), drained
2 cups brown sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
4 tbsp prepared mustard
2 tsp dark soy sauce

Preheat the oven to 375 deg F (180 deg C).
Place the chicken in an ungreased baking dish. Brush with the butter and season with salt and pepper. (If you are using chicken with skin, make sure the skin side is up).
Cook in the oven for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix together the pineapple, sugar, lemon juice, mustard and soy sauce.
Take the chicken out of the oven and pour the glaze into the dish.
Return to the oven and bake for 25 to 30 mins, until golden and fully cooked.
Dinner is served!

Work From Home Running Errands

If you're looking for work you can do at (or from) home in the Boston or SF Bay Area, then you might be interested in becoming a 'runner' for www.taskrabbit.com.

Taskrabbit is a unique site connecting people looking for work (runners) with people who are looking to get their jobs done (senders)! The 'senders' simply post the details of the tasks they have available and the price they're willing to pay.

Unlike similar sites, Taskrabbit doesn't just limit you to 'office' type work - you can agree to pick up someone's groceries, for example, go gift shopping on their behalf or even take back their library books!

Task prices generally range from $20 to $30, depending on what the task actually is - so you're not going to make a fortune doing this! It can, however, bring in that much needed 'little extra'. I like the fact that you could 'merge' tasks with jobs you would be doing anyway - picking up groceries, for instance.

You get paid once you've completed the task to the satisfaction of your customer and your payment is automatically transferred to your 'runner' account. Taskrabbit will send you a check in the mail at your request, as long as you meet the minimum earnings threshold of $25.

Sounds interesting - how do I start?

If you'd like to be a runner for Taskrabbit, click here to apply online.

At the moment, Taskrabbit is only operating in Boston and the SF Bay Area, but plans to expand to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Portland and Seattle. If you click the link above, then click 'Pick a city', you can leave your email address to be contacted when the site is up and running in those areas.
