Hello Recipe Club,

How about some Hawaiian Punch?

It's Thursday and there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The week is winding down. But, you've still got to get dinner on the table before you rush off to work out or take the kids to their ball game. If you want kids to eat real chicken instead of those greasy nuggets, this is it. My daughters love this chicken recipe. I usually double the recipe so that I can freeze the extra to have on another evening where time is a commodity. Here's some island fare that includes Hawaiian chicken.

Hawaiian Chicken

This recipe steals ingredients from a variety of Hawaiian Chicken recipes that I have found over the years. I have served this at pool parties and other events with a Hawaiian theme. This is one of the more popular chicken dishes requested by my personal chef clients.

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

4 large bone-in chicken breasts
1 can (8 1/4 ounces) pineapple tidbits
salt and pepper
2 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 cup sliced green onion
1/2 medium red pepper thinly sliced
1 cup coconut
1 cup cashews

Preparation:

Drain pineapple juice and reserve. In shallow glass dish, combine honey, soy sauce, cayenne pepper and ground cumin. Add chicken breasts, turning to coat all sides.

Let marinate at least 15 minutes. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade) and place on grill or under broiler, cook 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Remove from heat source and keep warm.

In small saucepan combine reserved marinade, pineapple juice and cornstarch. Bring to boil over medium heat stirring constantly.

Stir in pineapple, onion and red pepper, cook 1 minute more or until heated through. To serve, place chicken on serving platter and top with sauce.

Garnish with coconut and cashews.
