Hawaiian Chicken over Jasmine Rice

I was inspired by a similar recipe that I had made a couple of months ago, and Liam had really enjoyed it.  When we received two pineapple this week, I instantly thought of this recipe!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning (Barbecue, Mango Lime, Garlic Powder)
BBQ Sauce
2-3 Pineapple Rounds (Sliced)
1 Cup Jasmine Rice

Directions:
Add the oil to the pan and turn the heat to medium.  Add the chicken and season it generously.  Cook until browned on both sides and turn heat to low.  Cook the rice in a rice or steam cooker.  If you do not have one, you can also cook on the stove-top.  Pour the BBQ sauce over top and allow to warm and soak in.  Add the pineapples on top and cook for another minute or two.  Serve over a bed of rice & enjoy!

Easter Ham Recipe

This Easter I wanted to make a delicious ham, since I didn't get to for Christmas due to one of my guests being a non-pork eater.  Easter provided me with the perfect opportunity to cook one up.  I always love sweet or smokey ham, and went with sweet this year.

Ingredients:
Ham (bone in, the size is up to you, mine was almost 8 lbs)
Brown Sugar
Honey
Pineapple (pare off the outside)
Toothpicks
Cherry Coca-Cola

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.  Get a deep oven safe pan and line with tinfoil.  Place the ham fat side up.  Cut the pineapple and set aside.  Take the brown sugar and rub generously all over the exposed part of the ham.  Drizzle with honey.  Take the pineapple slices and stick all over the ham to cover.  Attach with toothpicks.  Drizzle over the pineapple with honey.  Pour the Cherry Coke all over the ham until almost filling the pan.  Cover with foil and place in the oven.  Cook for 15 minutes per pound.  Remove the foil when 30 minutes of cooking time remain and continue to cook.  Take out of the oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before carving.  Enjoy!
