WAIKIKI BEACH CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE



Waikiki Beach Chicken and Pineapple image

The sauce for this dish is somewhat like a sweet and sour sauce, but has a brighter flavor and is easier to make. I have made this many times and always gets rave reviews. Rumor has it this dish was once on the menu at a popular restaurant on Waikiki Beach.

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup flour
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in juice
3/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/4 cup cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 large green pepper
3 cups hot cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F and spray a 9x13 baking pan or dish with cooking spray.
  • Set aside.
  • Trim any visible fat from chicken breasts and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  • Coat chicken with flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Place chicken in prepared dish and place in oven while preparing sauce.
  • Drain juice from pineapple into a medium saucepan and set pineapple chunks aside.
  • Add the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and bouillon cube to saucepan.
  • Combine cornstarch and water and blend until smooth.
  • Add to saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat, whisking slowly to dissolve sugar.
  • Boil for two minutes, whisking vigorously.
  • The sauce should thicken and turn clear after boiling for about 1 minute or so.
  • Pour sauce over chicken and lower oven temperature to 350°F.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, remove stem and seeds from green pepper and remove white veins.
  • Slice into rings and set aside.
  • Distribute pineapple chunks and pepper rings evenly over chicken and bake 20 more minutes.
  • To serve, place about 2/3 cup rice on plate and top with a chicken breast.
  • Top with plenty of the pineapple and pepper rings and drizzle a generous amount of the sauce over all.
  • Serve at once.
  • NOTE: Be sure to use Heinz apple cider vinegar, not a store brand in the sauce.
  • Using any other brand will make the sauce foam up and boil over in addition to having a poor flavor.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will result in the tastiest and most flavorful Waikiki Chicken with Pineapple.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a lean meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality pineapple. A fresh, ripe pineapple will have a sweet and juicy flavor that will complement the chicken nicely.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. If you like your food spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a little more brown sugar. Make it your own!

Conclusion:

Waikiki Chicken with Pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory chicken, and tangy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Waikiki Chicken with Pineapple a try. You won't be disappointed!
