These days, we could all use a little vacation. Transport yourself oceanside with this grilled chicken dish inspired by Hawaii. Hawaiian Chicken is marinated in a sweet, umami sauce, giving it a gorgeous almost candy red color. It’s also unbelievably tender. Hawaiian Chicken is great meal prep for wraps or salads, or can be served alongside white rice and salad.
