Wendi's report: This was a recipe I grew up with. Thus I imagining that it was my mother who left this? I love Hawaiian chicken. I actually just cut the chicken up and cooked it in the dish with the rest of the meal which was easier and seemed fine. I also used shredded pineapple to make it easier for the boys. I love this recipe. John isn't as crazy about it. He doesn't like the "gummy" taste of corn starch. Elijah loved it. Isaac gave some pretty crazy faces. Overall, I would recommend everyone trying this one. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Wen - I made something similar the other night, but using the crock pot. Just throw some boneless chicken breasts in the crock pot, 1-2 cans of crushed pinapple (drained), 2 tbs soy sauce (I used low-sodium and a bit more), 1/2 cup of terryaki marinade, and 2 tbs brown sugar. Turn on high for 3 hours or low for 5. Shred chicken with fork when done and serve over rice (I used couscous). Yum! A little healthier than the recipe you posted and without the cornstarch so John would like it! Plus...I love crock pot recipes...can't get any easier than that!
It twas your mother. I love Rachels twist to it. Only problem is my crockpot just seems cook things too quickly-even on low.
I am so going to try this! I love pineapple and Rachel's version in the crockpot sounds super easy!
