Island Chicken Packet

"We often buy Hawaiian chicken grillers at the local grocer store. These are a lot better, and cheaper too. A dash of cinnamon spices it up a bit. You can throw these on the grill also."

  1. Incredibly easy to make and my family loved them! I added a couple of slices of red bell pepper to each packet. Next time I might stir in little bit of cornstarch so sauce thickens as it cooks. This is also a fantastic recipe for camping. The packets can be made in advance and frozen so all you have to do at the campsite is put them on the grill!
     
  2. A really good easy dish. I used 4 canned pineapple rings and placed one under and one on top of each chicken breast for baking. Served with snowpeas and rice and I had a quick, tasty and healthy meal.
     
  3. The minute I read this recipe I knew that it would be great and we weren't disappointed. So easy to make and so easy to eat too. I didn't have sesame oil so I used sunflower instead. I served it with baked potatoes and a green salad - easy as pie!
     
  4. These were OK, not bad, but not wow. I'd give 5 stars for healthy and simplicity. Based on other reviewes, I added some sliced red bell peppers and used some cornstarch to thicken up the sauce. It happened that these marinted for 24 hours, but these still seemed a tad on the bland side. Perhaps our family just enjoys more spice. I would make these again if the family requested it.
     
  5. It tasted OK but it took forever to cook. After 20 minutes the chicken was half-cooked despite cutting it up. The sauce was pretty watery and a bit bland, but my toddler ate it without argument. Maybe it's because I used fresh pineapple instead of canned, I don't know.
