Healthy "Hawaiian" Chicken

I put Hawaiian in quotes for a reason. This is not gourmet. If you're looking for authentic, keep on clicking. If you're looking for 2 cans, a seasoning packet and 10 minutes, you're in the right place.

I had a friend in college who was actually from Hawaii. We were talking one day about his favorite foods and I got all excited and said, "Oh, I make Hawaiian chicken!" He cut me off, shot me a look and flatly said, "Do you call it Hawaiian chicken just because it has pineapple in it?" Touche.

Nevertheless, we enjoy it. And it's another of my favorite no-recipe-recipes. In other words, you'll remember how to make this forever, and it's likely you'll always have the ingredients on hand.

Start off by browning chicken in a little oil. I use EVOO. I've made this with chicken strip cuts and it served fewer. I've found if I'll start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized pieces, it goes further and there's less waste.


Pour a 15oz (-ish...this isn't an exact science) can of pineapple chunks and a small can of mandarin orange slices into a bowl. Don't drain off the juices! Mix in an envelope of dry onion soup mix. Stir.
Once the chicken is mostly browned, pour the mixture on top of the chicken. Cover and cook on medium low heat for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. I highly recommend using a wok for this recipe to prevent a clean kitchen massacre...
And that's it, friends. We serve ours over brown rice with green beans and crescent rolls. I know, it was so healthy until I got to that bread part, wasn't it?

  2. This includes all areas of site profiling, hard
    and soft landscaping, fencing, decks, pools, retaining walls and other external features.

    A good landscape design not only will make your home look more
    attractive but will save you money, make your home a more comfortable place to live and expand your
    useful living space. There are several designs and options for
    creating a little privacy for reading or meditating.

    Yet, spending highly on a bed bug spray is not the most accurate solution to
    this problem. In the first instance we were perhaps a little complacent
    and underestimated the threat; bed bugs have not been a serious problem in urban environments for decades.

  9. In fact, some of the biggest gains in penny stocks come at a
    time when the big indexes are on a downward trend.
    This all sound wonderful, however, what we forget is that these people have been working at it for years.

    Maybe you even need to rearrange your work schedule and
    end up with lost hours so that you can go to school.
