Chicken Tahiti


Updated and Rev
ised December 2020

This recipe came to me from my mother. Since she worked full-time when we were older, she loved quick meals, and anything that was quick to put together. As kids, we loved this chicken, and as an adult I have served it many times over the years to my own family. 

Baked chicken breasts or tenders, smothered in a tangy sweet 'n sour sauce, pineapple chunks and bell pepper pieces, served over rice ... always a hit!  Don't have pineapple chunks and bell pepper? No problem, just leave them out.  



What do you need to make Chicken Tahiti?
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders
  • ketchup
  • sugar
  • vinegar
