Hawaiian Chicken

A few nights ago I tried a new chicken dish for dinner. I got the recipe from Cooking Light magazine. We all really enjoyed it! It's yet another chicken recipe to add to the book!

Here are the necessary ingredients & preparation directions (with a little eye candy of course!):

1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups hot cooked long-grain white rice (I used brown instead of white)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1. Combine first 5 ingredients.


Reserve 1/4 cup marinade; place remaining marinade in a zip-top plastic bag. Add chicken to bag; seal. Chill 4 hours.

2. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade in bag. Sprinkle chicken with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Grill chicken; baste with 2 tablespoons reserved marinade. Cook 6 minutes. Turn chicken over; baste with 2 tablespoons reserved marinade. Cook 6 minutes.


3. Combine rice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and cilantro.

Yum!
