Hawaiian Chicken

Thursday nights are now my dinner nights, and I want to try new things. Then I had the idea to blog about the new meals I make. Something to look forward to every week.
Tonight was my first night in my adventure of making new things. I made Hawaiian Chicken, along with rice, sauteed green beans, and fresh french bread.
The sauce is a combo of;
- 3/4 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
- 1/3 cup ketchup (yes, I made something with ketchup)
-  1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 2 Tbs cornstarch
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1 tsp Soy Sauce
- 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
When that is brought to a boil, you pour it over the chicken (3 whole check breast, cut in half, skinned) and cook it for a total of an hour and a half. The recipe didn't call for this, but I put pineapple rings on top of the chicken. (And I did double it for 5 adults and 2 kids.)
This was a major hit in our family... even the littles liked it. Score!
