Hawaiian Style Chicken Recipe
Aloha! Here’s one of the best Hawaiian recipes I’ve come across. It’s a contender for my favorite chicken recipe as
well. The coconut and pineapple give the chicken breast such a wonderful flavor of the islands. You may just want to call it aloha chicken because of the way the great taste greets your mouth!
