Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken

Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken
Ingredients

• 1.5-2 lbs chicken (thighs or breasts, cubed or whole)
• 1 cup Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
• 1 bell pepper (red or yellow, sliced)
• 1/2 red onion (sliced)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Optional: green onions + sesame seeds for garnish
• Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

1. Sear the chicken

Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Season chicken lightly with salt + pepper, then sear until browned (about 4-5 min per side if whole, less if cubed).

2. Add flavor

Lower heat to medium. Add:

• garlic
• bell pepper
• onion

Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

3. Sauce it up

Pour in Azeka’s Maui Original Sauce and stir to coat everything.
Add pineapple chunks.

Let simmer for 5-7 minutes until:

• chicken is fully cooked
• sauce thickens slightly
• everything gets glossy + caramelized

4. Serve

Serve over rice and top with:

• sliced green onions
• sesame seeds

Why it works

• The sweet + savory profile of Azeka’s pairs perfectly with pineapple
• Minimal prep, big flavor
• Works for stovetop, grill, or even skewers

Optional Variations

• Grilled version: Skewer chicken + pineapple, grill, then brush with sauce at the end
• Spicy twist: Add chili flakes or sriracha
• Veggie-heavy: Add broccoli or snap peas
