Hawaiian Chicken


 I found this recipe on Pinterest, I printed the recipe.. now I lost the website link. But this recipe is not my own, besides my own tweaks .. anyways. I used Chicken Breast instead of thighs, and I also.. grilled then baked it. To keep it moist.(by grilling, I mean using the George Forman grill, and just enough to give the meat the grill marks)


Ingredients:
  • 4 Chicken Breasts
  • 2 cups soy sauce (I use low sodium)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic
  • 13.5 ounce can of coconut milk
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • chopped green onions (1/2 garnish, 1/2 for sauce)
  • 1/4 cup chopped white onion (I forgot to buy it, so i used onion powder.. and I just used a palm full)

Instructions:
  1. pound chicken, mix all ingredients, except 1/2 green onion. Reserve 1/3 of this sauce in a bowl. Then marinade Chicken overnight or 8 hours, with 2/3 of the sauce. (original recipe uses all sauce)
  2. Grill Chicken until has nice grill marks, or until no longer pink, if you dont want to bake it.
  3. Use some of the reserved sauce to coat a baking dish. Place grilled chicken in it, then place in a 300 degree oven. (skip this step if you are not baking it)
  4. Heat remaining reserved sauce, to use in rice, and sauted veggie.
  5. Plate chicken,  sprinkle with green onions and ENJOY





For the veggies, I sauted them with garlic. Then added about 1/4 cup of heated sauce to them. cook down, dish it, and enjoy!
For the rice I used 2/3 water and 1/3 sauce to the rice. and cook. Its a small hint of the flavor. YUM!
