Hawaiian Chicken

I had been looking for a recipe a few weeks ago for a "quick" Hawaiian chicken. Meaning, I had a craving for a sweet pineappley chicken dish and wanted to make it right then. It was dinner time already so a slow cooker meal just wouldn't do. (Which most of the recipes seemed to be.) So, I decided to throw something together myself, and it came out amazing. I made it again for dinner tonight, and it came out just as good, if not better. So it wasn't just a fluke! I've decided this one is internet worthy, so here is the recipe. 


Hawaiian Chicken

2 chicken breast - cut into 1 inch cubes
Half of a green pepper, half of an orange pepper and half onion - diced into 1 inch cubes
3 scallions (green onions) chop greens and set aside for garnish. 
2 servings of cooked white rice, or brown if you prefer

Sauce - make in a salad dressing shaker or whisk in a bowl
1 can pineapple chunks (just the juice, keep the chunks for later)
1/2 cup liquid aminos (a healthier alternative to soy sauce) or just use soy sauce if that's all you have.
1/4-1/2 cup light brown sugar (or more to taste) 
2 tablespoons minced garlic
Put all ingredients into shaker and give it a good shaking. (Or a good whisking! See Wonder whisk.. i love mine, its amazing! )

1. Brown chicken in pan with a little olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  When done, set aside
2.  In same pan (without the chicken, this is to make less dishes!) Cook peppers and onions and when almost done put in pineapple chunks. Heat through.
3.  Add the chicken and the sauce to the peppers and onions. Make a slurry with 1/4 cup cold water and 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch. Add slurry and stir until thickened.
Serve over white rice and garnish with green onions.
Try Hawaiian dinner rolls on the side, or garlic bread.

I really hope you enjoy this dish. My family loves it, including my 2 1/2 yr old daughter and my 71 yr old father in law!

Here are a couple pictures taken with the cell phone camera last minute before devouring. No time to get out the nice Canon..hehe
