Description

This Hawaiian Chicken recipe features tender chicken breasts topped with ham, pineapple, and cheese, all cooked in a delicious soy sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 6 oz deli sliced ham
  • 1 8 oz can pineapple slices, drained
  • 4 slices (3 oz) Provolone cheese

Instructions

  1. Butterfly each chicken breast open, then cut to create 4 thinner pieces of chicken.
  2. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture to coat both sides and place in the skillet.
  4. Cook the chicken until browned, about 5 minutes, then flip to cook the second side. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, another 3-5 minutes, or until it reaches about 160ºF with an instant read thermometer.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked through, add the soy sauce to the pan and flip the chicken to coat in the sauce.
  6. Divide the ham between the chicken, then top each with a pineapple ring and then a slice of cheese.
  7. Turn off the heat and place a lid on the skillet. Let it sit until the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve immediately.
