HAWAIIAN CHICKEN BREAST

Hawaiian Chicken Breast image

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.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

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:

Choose the right chicken breasts. For this recipe, it's best to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the pan. If you're cooking multiple chicken breasts, make sure there's enough space between them so they can cook evenly. Otherwise, they'll steam instead of sear.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit before you remove it from the pan.
Let the chicken rest before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.
Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some popular options include rice, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Hawaiian chicken breast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little bit of planning, you can have a delicious Hawaiian-inspired meal on the table in no time.
