Tonight we enjoyed another fantastic Eat at Home recipe. This time it was Hawaiian Chicken and a little Tropical Salad. I'm just loving these pre-planned meals, they are making my days so much easier. I don't have to worry about finding a recipe and running to the store for ingredients. Ahhhh. Life is good!
I made just a couple of minor changes to these recipes. I added ginger to my chicken marinade and switched out romaine for arugula and used slivered toasted almonds instead of macadamia nuts. Oh yes, and I used turkey bacon instead of the real stuff.
My husband and I LOVED this one! This salad is crazy good and the chicken is so tender and has a nice tangy flavor to it.
Grilled Hawaiian Chicken
from Eat at Home
6 boneless chicken breasts
2 cups pineapple juice
2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar

Combine all the ingredients except the chicken. Pour marinade over chicken, cover and refrigerate at least overnight. Grill until done.

I'm always looking for new chicken recipes to try and this one looks delicious! I love the nuts in the salad for a little crunch.
Both this recipe and the pepper jack chicken are great ideas. I've got chicken breasts waiting in the freezer when I return home next week. Thanks for 2 delicious recipes!
This is perfect for summer.

Kim...your timing is perfect. I just bought some chicken thighs yesterday from a local farmer. Your recipe sounds just about right in order to try something new. Those ingredients are smiling at me ;o)
Enjoy your time with your daughter and have a great weekend,
Claudia
OMG, that looks delicious, Kim. Arugula is currently my greens of choice and I can't wait to make this salad. I got great arugula at the market last week.
See you tomorrow.

My daughter saw this picture and gave it a big ol' "yum"!
Macadamias are expensive! I'd have gone with almonds too :-)
Not running to the store = good in my book. Food looks yummy too
Yum, I'd like that!
A perfect summer meal! How about if you cook it and I eat it?
I can see why are are so inspired by the recipes at Eat At Home. I went over the other day and spent quite sometime looking through her site. This one looks superb and I'm really loving the salad with the pineapple and almonds. It's a perfect light, tasty, summer meal!
That salad looks too pretty to eat!
Now this what I like to call a summer salad!! Yum yum!!!
