I would take off the skin. Then simmer the chicken in Italian (Spaghetti) sauce, either tomato-based or Alfredo. Prepare pasta, and serve the cooked chicken and sauce on the pasta.





Cook on low heat, stirring often, to prevent scorching.Mixed pieces of chicken (thigh, drumstick) need recipes?
Just use the chicken pieces you have.





Hawaiian Skillet Chicken


4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)


Salt and pepper to taste


1/2 cup flour


2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola, corn, peanut)


Hawaiian Sauce


1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, with juice


1/2 cup brown sugar


3 tablespoons soy sauce


1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced


1/8 teaspoon ground cloves


1/4 teaspoon paprika


1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


1 tablespoon flour


Remove tenderloin from chicken breast to allow it to cook evenly. Salt and pepper all of the chicken. Place flour on a plate and coat the chicken (including the tenderloins) on both sides with flour, pressing to make sure it adheres. Shake off excess flour. In a large, heavy skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces to the skillet, without crowding the pan, work in batches and add more oil if necessary. Saut茅 chicken for 4 minutes, without moving, it will become nicely brown. Adjust the heat--up or down if needed. Turn the cutlets and continue to saut茅 for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until chicken is evenly browned and cooked throughout, (tenderloin pieces take less time, 2 minutes per side) Transfer the chicken to a plate and remove the skillet from the heat. Sauce: Add the pineapple with the juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, cloves, paprika and salt. Return the skillet to medium heat and stir for a minute. Add the tablespoon of flour and continue to heat the sauce, stirring to collect any remaining juices and brown bits from pan, and allowing it to thicken slightly (about 2 minutes). Pour the sauce over the chicken and serve with white rice.
Jamaican Jerk chicken is spicy and traditionally uses the thigh and leg portion. You can use any piece of the chicken.





Clean with lemon juice, rinse and dry. Season with dry jerk seasoning, black pepper, seasoned salt, fresh or dried thyme, garlic powder and onion powder, (I also use adobo and sazon seasonings). Rub the seasoning into the meat and the skin thoroughly. It tastes better if you can put it in the fridge overnight. The minimum time should be 15-30 minutes.





You also need to purchase jamaican bbq sauce or add the jerk season (2-3 tbs) to a small bottle of your favorite bbq sauce mixing well. If you want it hotter add more seasoning and some red pepper flakes. The seasoning and sauce can be purchased at any store that carries caribbean food products.





Traditionally it is made on the grill in a slow process that requires alot of turning. You can also make it in the oven covered for 30-45 minutes and 10 minutes uncovered at 350 degrees.





Enjoy.
