Hello, hello, it's Monday!
Last month, my husband and I took a trip to Hawaii, and like most visitors to the islands, I pretty much ate my weight in sweet pineapple. It's sort of mandatory when you're there, am I right?
Those sweet fruit cravings just kept on coming once we got home, and this recipe followed suit.
If sweet and sour is your flavor combo of choice, you're going to go gaga for this simple pineapple chicken recipe.
The honey pineapple sauce reminds me of my favorite sweet and sour pork, except there's no tomato products in this recipe so the pineapple flavor can really shine.
To keep things budget-friendly, I used canned pineapple chunks rather than fresh, and for ease I baked the pineapple chicken instead of stir-frying it.
I don't always want to stand by the stove babysitting my dinner (even if it's a lightning fast recipe like cashew chicken), so having more hands-off recipes like this is handy on busy nights.
It's almost like being in Hawaii! Okay, not quite, but as close as I'm going to get for a while.
Enjoy!
Heidi
