Best 7 Aloha Chicken Recipes
Aloha Chicken, a delightful Hawaiian dish, embodies the vibrant spirit of the islands. This flavorful chicken dish, brimming with tropical essence, tantalizes taste buds with its unique blend of sweet, savory, and tangy flavors. Marinated in a luscious mixture of soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and an array of aromatic spices, the chicken absorbs a symphony of flavors that burst forth with every bite. Grilled or baked to perfection, the chicken emerges with a beautiful golden-brown exterior, while the succulent meat remains moist and tender, infused with the irresistible Aloha spirit.

Its fluffy rice, studded with sweet pineapple, crunchy vegetables, and savory seasonings, offers a taste of paradise in every mouthful. Rounding out the trio is a refreshing Pineapple Salsa, a vibrant medley of fresh pineapple, tangy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and aromatic cilantro. Its sweet and tangy flavor profile complements the chicken perfectly, adding a burst of freshness that awakens the palate.

Steps:
- Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, and discard the excess soy sauce. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken.
- While chicken is grilling, spread the buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set the buns aside.
- To assemble, spread the grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

ALOHA CHICKEN
The recipe lists chicken thighs, but you can use any bone-in chicken pieces you like. You have got to taste this dish to believe it! It's my personal favorite, and I don't even like chicken! I know it doesn't sound too great, but you owe it to yourself to taste this tangy-sweet pineapple-chicken dish. Serve over cooked white rice if desired. (Note: You can vary the amount of chicken to taste. The less you use, the stronger the flavor).
