Add a little bit of island inspiration to your table tonight!
Hawaiian-style chicken is a great dish to serve with white rice or even pasta. The preparation of the chicken is simple, but the taste makes this dish outstanding. The sweet pineapple ring adds a nice flavor to this dish. I have used turkey cutlets with great results too! Make this Hawaiian-style chicken for dinner tonight.
