ALOHA CHICKEN



Aloha Chicken image

The recipe lists chicken thighs, but you can use any bone-in chicken pieces you like. You have got to taste this dish to believe it! It's my personal favorite, and I don't even like chicken! I know it doesn't sound too great, but you owe it to yourself to taste this tangy-sweet pineapple-chicken dish. Serve over cooked white rice if desired. (Note: You can vary the amount of chicken to taste. The less you use, the stronger the flavor).

ALOHA CHICKEN BURGERS



Aloha Chicken Burgers image

This tasty sandwich is like a luau on a bun!

Provided by Chris McDaniel

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
¼ cup soy sauce
3 slices thick cut bacon
2 large hamburger buns, split
1 tablespoon softened butter
¼ cup teriyaki sauce
2 slices Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 slices pineapple
2 slices tomato
2 slices of iceberg lettuce

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes. While chicken is marinating, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
  • Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, and discard the excess soy sauce. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling. Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken.
  • While chicken is grilling, spread the buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set the buns aside.
  • To assemble, spread the grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

Types of Aloha Chicken Recipes

There are several types of aloha chicken recipes, each offering a unique twist on this classic dish. Here are some popular variations:

This recipe involves marinating chicken pieces in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar before skewering them with pineapple chunks and green onions. The skewers are then grilled to perfection for a delicious and easy meal.

Tips for Making The Best Aloha Chicken

To ensure that your aloha chicken is a hit, there are a few tips to keep in mind:
Marinate the chicken:
Marinating the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes (or up to 24 hours) before cooking will allow the flavors to penetrate the meat for a more flavorful dish.
Use fresh pineapple:
Using fresh pineapple rather than canned will give your dish a brighter, juicier flavor.
Don't overcook the chicken:
Overcooking the chicken can cause it to become dry and tough, so be sure to keep an eye on it and remove it from the heat as soon as it is cooked through.
Experiment with spices:
If you want to add more heat or sweetness to your aloha chicken, feel free to experiment with spices like chili powder or honey to find your perfect mix of flavors.

Valuable Tips For Making the Perfect Aloha Chicken Recipes

If you are searching for a tasty and healthy recipe that brings the tropical flavor of Hawaii to your plate, then Aloha Chicken is what you need. Aloha Chicken is a sweet and savory dish cooked with tender chicken breasts and sweet, tangy pineapple. However, preparing the perfect Aloha chicken recipe requires some tips and tricks, which we will be discussing in this article. Here are some valuable tips to keep in mind when making Aloha Chicken.
1. Use Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients
To ensure a flavorful and delicious dish, start with fresh and high-quality ingredients. Choose fresh chicken breasts that are free from any preservatives or additives. Also, opt for fresh, juicy pineapple, which has a naturally sweet taste that adds to the flavor of the Aloha Chicken recipe.
2. Marinate the Chicken
Marinating the chicken is a crucial step in making Aloha Chicken. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful and tender it will become. For the best results, marinate the chicken for at least an hour or overnight in the fridge.
3. Season the Chicken
To ensure that the chicken is well-seasoned, add salt and pepper into the marinade mixture. Additionally, add some garlic powder, paprika, and onion powder to enhance the flavors of the chicken.
4. Grill or Bake the Chicken
The best way to cook Aloha Chicken is by grilling or baking it. Grilling the chicken will give it a smoky and charred flavor, while baking it will maintain its natural sweetness. Either way, make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
5. Add Pineapple
Pineapple is the star ingredient of Aloha Chicken, and it gives the dish its unique tropical flavor. For best results, add fresh, juicy pineapple chunks to the chicken during the cooking process. Pineapple also has an enzyme called Bromelain, which tenderizes the meat and makes it more flavorful.
6. Use Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is a vital ingredient in Aloha Chicken, as it adds umami and saltiness to the dish. Use low-sodium soy sauce, as it is less salty and healthier. Additionally, if you want to mix up the recipe, you can try using teriyaki sauce or coconut aminos.
7. Consider Adding Vegetables
To make your Aloha Chicken recipe more healthy, consider adding vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and broccoli. These vegetables will add color and nutrients to the dish, making it more balanced and delicious.
8. Garnish the Dish
Garnishing is an essential step in bringing your Aloha Chicken recipe to life. Consider adding some fresh cilantro, chopped green onions, or sesame seeds to the dish before serving. These garnishes will add flavor, color, and texture to the Aloha Chicken recipe.
9. Pair with Complementary Sides
To complement the Aloha Chicken, consider serving it with some tasty side dishes like rice, quinoa, or roasted sweet potatoes. These sides will absorb the flavors of the chicken and enhance the overall taste of the dish.
10. Experiment with Different Flavor Combinations
Finally, don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations when making Aloha Chicken. You can add ginger, honey, or chili flakes to add some extra kick. Alternatively, you can try using different meats like pork or shrimp to create different variations of the recipe. In conclusion, making the perfect Aloha Chicken recipe requires some tips and tricks. Remember to use fresh and high-quality ingredients, marinate the chicken, season it well, cook it thoroughly, add pineapple, use soy sauce, consider adding vegetables, garnish the dish, pair it with complementary sides, and experiment with different flavors. By following these tips, you can create a tasty and healthy dish that brings the tropical flavor of Hawaii to your plate.
