Take-out Tuesday, Hassleback Hawaiian Chicken

Today’s recipe is literally easier than picking up take out
4 ingredients, boneless chicken thighs, pineapple, prosciutto and BBQ sauce
Make 4-5 deep cuts across the chicken thighs
Stuff thinly sliced prosciutto into the cuts
{I left 2 thighs whole for Super Boy and Big E, didn’t know if they’d go for the prosciutto}
Top generously with drained pineapple tidbits, or chop up fresh pineapple
Slather BBQ sauce overall, I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Hawaiian BBQ sauce
Bake at 375 degrees for about 50 minutes, basting with pan juices half way through
🍍 Super easy and delicious! 🍍

This looks delish
What a great idea! I’d probably use breasts. I know thighs are all the thing these days – LOL! But I’m still a breast girl 🙂
Me too Jodi, but the guys are all about the thighs 😂 I think breasts would be fantastic!

I can’t wait to try this recipe! I think it will be a BIG hit here.
This looks tasty. I just made some and hassleback chicken and the process just retains the flavours so well and keeps the chicken moist
Yes, fun recipe!
