# 1 large onion, finely chopped.
# 4 large leaves of fresh lettuce, chopped.

# Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
# Brush baking tray with olive oil.
# Put in lettuce and onion. 
# Pour in some of the marinade, just enough to cover the vegetables. 
# Set chicken pieces on the bed of vegetables, and cover with some marinade. 
# Brush each piece with some olive oil. 
# Set in oven, and cook for 10 minutes. 
# Take out tray, turn the pieces, and cover the other side with the marinard, brush with olive oil, and cook for 10 more minutes at the same temperature.
# Take out, sprinkle the pineapple for garnish. Optionally, add pineapple after the first 10 minutes of cooking.
:Serving Suggestion: This goes well with whole wheat bread, red bread, wild rice and with hearty, spicy red wine, like a Shiraz. A good serving side would be steamed basmasti rice flavoured with cardamom and cinnamon.
