recipes: hawaiian chicken




Like I promised, here is the recipe for the Hawaiian Chicken I cooked the other night with Drew. It was really yummy. I got this recipe from my mom and love it because of the combination of sweet, tangy, and a little bit of spicy. I also love pineapple. YUM.


 INGREDIENTS 

  • 2 lbs. chicken breasts
  • 1/3 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tbsp Heinz 57 sauce (we like the barbecue)
  • 1 can (8oz) sliced pineapple
  • Salt & Pepper (or some of Drew's and my secret ingredient - Slap Ya' Mama! No, seriously. It's an awesome substitute for pepper and it's got a little tang to it)
  • 2 tbsp honey

 INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Place chicken in baking dish (12x7 or 9x13)
  2. Season with salt & pepper (or some awesome SLAP YA' MAMA)
  3. Bake in 400 degree oven for 30 minutes
  4. Meanwhile, drain pineapple; reserving 2 tbsps of the pineapple juice
  5. Combine the pineapple juice, Heinz 57 sauce, and honey
  6. After the 30 minutes is over, take chicken out and pour honey mixture over the chicken.
  7. Bake an additional 25 minutes, basting occasionally.
  8. After that time is up, arrange the pineapple slices over the chicken and bake for 10 more minutes. (I know.. a lot of taking chicken in and out of the oven. It's okay.)
  9. Drain excess fat from sauce.
  10. Spoon sauce over chicken when serving. *Side Note: This is REALLY good served over rice.


Enjoy! I can't wait to share my Apple Crisp recipe with you... but you'll have to wait a little longer! Wahahaha! Just kidding about the evil laughing. I'm not trying to provoke some kind of horrible mean anticipation, I just forgot to bring the recipe card with me to my parents' house..... yeah.... sorry guys. Big party foul.
