Aloha Chicken

My sister makes this for her family and sent me the recipe awhile ago.  Thanks for posting it again Susan!  This time I'm going to save it.  :)  This is a Taste Of Home recipe.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cans (8 ounces each) unsweetened pineapple chunks
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce or reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Hot cooked rice

Directions

  • Flatten the chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Place flour in a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken and toss to coat.
  • In a large skillet, brown chicken over medium heat in oil for 3-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm. Drain pineapple, reserving 1/4 cup juice. (Discard remaining juice or save for another use.)
  • In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and reserved juice until smooth. Gradually add to skillet. stir in the honey, teriyaki sauce and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 30 seconds or until thickened. Add pineapple and chicken; heat through. Serve with rice. Yield: 4 servings.
