Description

These Hawaiian Stuffed Chicken Breasts are a delightful fusion of savory and sweet flavors that are perfect for a fun weeknight dinner. The tender chicken is pounded thin and rolled around a moist mixture of chicken-flavored stuffing, crisp green peppers, and juicy crushed pineapple. A tangy glaze made from brown sugar, vinegar, and ground ginger is spooned over the rolls before baking, creating a sticky, aromatic crust that complements the soft interior. This dish brings a taste of the tropics to your table without requiring exotic ingredients. It pairs beautifully with rice or steamed vegetables, making it a complete and satisfying meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC).
  2. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the hot water and margarine until the margarine melts.
  4. Stir in the stuffing mix, chopped green pepper, and half of the crushed pineapple with its syrup.
  5. Spoon the stuffing mixture evenly over the flattened chicken breasts, leaving a small border at the edges.
  6. Roll the chicken breasts up tightly and secure each roll with toothpicks.
  7. Place the chicken rolls in a 9-inch square baking dish. Pour any remaining stuffing mixture into the center of the pan.
  8. In a small bowl, mix the remaining pineapple and syrup with the brown sugar, vinegar, and ground ginger.
  9. Spoon this glaze evenly over the chicken rolls.
  10. Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the juices run clear.
