Recipe: Hawaiian Chicken

We are forever looking for healthy gluten free dishes for our family so I was very excited when my husband stumbled upon this Hawaiian Chicken recipe! Boy oh boy was it good...

Ingredients:

1/4 cup pineapple juice

2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce 

1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled ginger

2 garlic cloves, minced

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

cooking spray

3/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups hot cooked long-grain white rice

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

(we added a side of fresh organic fruit salad too!)

Directions: 

1. Combine first 5 ingredients. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade; place remaining marinade in a zip-top plastic bag.

2. Add chicken to bag; seal. Chill 4 hours.

3. Heat a grill pan over medium-high hear. Coat pan with cooking spray. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade in bag. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper.

4. Add chicken to pan; baste with 2 tablespoons reserved marinade. Cook 6 minutes. Turn chicken over; baste with 2 tablespoons reserved marinade. Cook another 6 minutes. 

5. Combine rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cilantro. 

The finished product: 

This was AMAZING! We ended up skipping the rice and subbing for a fruit salad. The entire family was wanting seconds on this one. I highly recommend this dish!
