Hawaiian Chicken

One of my very favorite parts of the warmer months is...dinner on the grill. I love how the food is lighter, and my very favorite part is how easy the clean-up is! This same dish could be made in the oven on a sheet tray, but it tasted especially nice on the grill. We ate it up!

Hawaiian Chicken

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces

1 yellow and 1 red pepper, cut into pieces

1 medium sized red onion, cut into pieces

1 small can of pineapple chunks, juices reserved

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1/8 cup soy sauce, plus 2 tablespoons

1 tablespoon garlic, minced

1/2 cup ketchup

2 heaping tablespoons brown sugar

Extra Virgin Olive oil

Salt and Pepper to taste

White rice for serving

Directions:

1. Place the chicken, red/yellow pepper, and red onion in a large bowl. 
2. Drizzle with olive oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, plus some pineapple juice. Season with salt and pepper. (At this point, you could grill immediately, or let things marinate a while). 
3. We used a large grill basket and grilled until the chicken was completely cooked. Add the pineapple chunks the final 3-5 minutes of cooking. 
4. Meanwhile, mix the ketchup, remaining soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, garlic and brown sugar together. Set aside. 
5. When ready to eat, place a scoop of white rice on your plate. Top with the chicken, peppers and onion mixture. Drizzle with sauce. 
6. Enjoy. 😀
