HAWAIIAN CHICKEN BREAST

I learned this recipe when I was in high school, from a mother whose children I babysat on a regular basis. It's so easy, and was one of the first meals I cooked for my future husband. I use boneless, skinless chicken breast now, but originally it was made with whole chicken breasts and thighs.

Categories     Chicken

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

6-8 boneless chicken breast halves
(or 1 cut up chicken)
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
1 small bottle regular thousand island dressing (8 oz)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange chicken pieces in baking dish that just fits their size, without too much space in between.
  • 2. Stir together pineapple and Thousand Island Dressing. Pour over chicken breasts.
  • 3. Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking 20 - 30 more minutes, depending on thickness of chicken pieces, until chicken is well done and coating glistens.
  • 4. Serve with rice and stir-fried vegetables.

Tips:

  • To achieve a perfectly juicy and flavorful chicken breast, consider using a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) before removing it from the skillet.
  • For a crispier chicken exterior, ensure that the skillet is sufficiently heated before adding the chicken breasts. Additionally, avoid overcrowding the skillet, as this can result in steamed chicken rather than browned.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of pineapple and teriyaki sauce used in the recipe to suit your taste preferences. If desired, you can also add other ingredients such as sliced bell peppers, onions, or pineapple chunks.
  • Serve the chicken immediately after cooking to enjoy it at its best. It pairs well with steamed rice, rice noodles, or a refreshing salad.

Conclusion:

This Hawaiian chicken breast recipe is a delightful blend of sweet and savory flavors that brings the vibrant taste of Hawaii to your kitchen. The combination of tender chicken, tangy pineapple, and flavorful teriyaki sauce creates a dish that is sure to impress your taste buds. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a gathering, this recipe is a perfect choice.
