Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

 

Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken                             serves 4

This Hawaiian chicken recipe is comprised of everyday ingredients that are simple to find, and totally awesome when combined. So, despite the simplicity, it feels so special.


It’s so simple: sear the chicken, cook the peppers, combine the sauce ingredients, and then add all of the ingredients together.  Cook until the peppers are soft, and the sauce has thickened and glossy.  It’s that simple!

Note: You can use other chicken parts if you wish.  It may just take a bit longer to cook them fully before you prepare the sauce. Firm tofu can also be a good substitute.                                           Adapted from Rachel’s recipe atwww.spendwithpennies.com
