Sweet Hawaiian Chicken With Teriyaki Glaze Over White Rice

Easy Hawaiian Chicken Recipe For Dinnertime

I grew up with this Hawaiian Chicken recipe and It always reminds me of family. It’s my Grandmother’s recipe and then my Mom started making it. Unfortunately, my Husband is deadly allergic to pineapple. So I still make this recipe for our family, I just substitute the pineapple for mango. Either works and it’s delicious with the teriyaki sauce!

What To Serve With Hawaiian Chicken

Like my Grandmother always said “this is an oldie, but a goodie – even if it’s a little work” and I think she’s referring to the sauce and sides. The sauce is what brings all of the flavors together. It’s cornstarch based, so you spend a bit of time stirring it until it’s translucent. 

I serve white rice with our Hawaiian Chicken, but any side rice that you prefer will work. The slivered almonds add some texture and you can omit those as well if you’re not a nut person. The sticky white rice absorbs some of the sauce and it tastes amazing together.
