TT w/Linky: Hawaiian Chicken ~ Baked or Crock Pot Style

My kids LOVE Hawaiian pizza, so I figured they would easily go for some Hawaiian Chicken with out too much of a fuss.  My kids aren't THAT picky of eaters but when ever I try something new, I know I'll get the "look"....especially from Paige, the six year old....and the dinner battle ensues.   Soooo, after bribing them by dangling a glass of Chocolate Yogurt Mousse in front of their disappointed little faces when announcing Hawaiian Chicken was for dinner last night, they became extremely enthusiastic to eat the Hawaiian Chicken.

The bribery worked....this time.  They cleaned their entire plate, even the brown rice that was hidden underneath.  But they truly DID enjoy their meal.  I'll be doing this one again.

Here's what you need......plus salt {entire recipe below}

Mix the ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, crushed pineapple and brown sugar together.

Salt and pepper {if you wish} the chicken breasts and thighs and place in to a baking dish.  I used my Dutch oven......or you could totally prepare this in a Crock Pot as well.  Pour the mixed ingredients over the top of the chicken.  

Bake at 350 degrees, add pineapple chunks, bake some more.

Serve over your favorite rice.  I used brown rice.  Really good and I think there's some left over today for lunch!

Hawaiian Chicken

Ingredients:
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and or thighs
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. Worchestershire sauce
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 can pineapple chunks...your choice on size

Directions:
Mix all ingredients together except the pineapple chunks.

Salt and pepper the chicken, place in a baking dish and pour the mixture over the chicken.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  For the last 20 minutes of cooking time, add the pineapple chunks, without juice.  Cook the remaining 20 minutes.

Serve over rice.

If you go the Crock Pot route, cook for 4-6 hours.

Easy Gourmet Chicken ~ Hummingbird Update

Easy Gourmet Chicken. This recipe was delicious! Very easy to prepare, only took about 10 minutes of prep time. The recipe calls for white wine and we don't drink white wine in our house, so I just left it out.....maybe buying a four pack of mini white wine bottles to have on hand for cooking wouldn't be a bad idea. We also didn't have cilantro on hand, so that was left out as well. I just eyeballed the measuring of ingredients and it turned out great! This is what the photo looked like in the magazine..... Here's what mine looked like..... I think the magazine photo is prettier, what do you think? I served the Gourmet Chicken with Spinach salad that included a sliced hard boiled egg (boiled with my Egg Genie), croutons, and the left over, cut up pizza toppings that were in the fridge from a couple of nights ago. For the dressing, I mixed Light Ranch and Rice Vinegar. Also included on the menu, risotto and a glass of Cabernet. Ingredients 1/3 cup Red Wine Vinegar 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1/2 cup apricot jam 1/3 cup capers, plus a little juice 1/2 cup Spanish Green Olives, drained and sliced 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 cup white wine 1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 5 cloves garlic, minced 2 Tbs. additional olive oil 4 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless Directions In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except chicken and 2 Tbs. olive oil. Stir until sugar is dissolved and jam is mixed well. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 2 Tbs. oil in a large skillet and brown chicken approx. 1 minute per side. Arrange chicken in single layer in 8 or 9-inch square baking dish. Pour mixture over chicken and bake 20-30 minutes or until done.
