Mmmmmm, ok so my husband and I are total food nerds. We love food!! Which unfortunately for his metabolism does not equal a slim trim figure. I still have a pretty good metabolism but still, looking good and feeling great are two very separate columns these days.
But I digress, for Christmas I won a shopping spree with a friend of mine who sells Steeped Tea and little did i know that Steeped Tea isn't ONLY Tea!! They have hot chocolate and cheese ball mix and tons of dip mixes and dry rubs and stuff. Sure they all have Tea IN them but ohmygosh my foodie heart just exploded when i was perusing the catalog.
One item we got was the Hawaiian Chipotle Topper, which has pineapple bits in it and actually smells really light. Definitely a key ingredient. Here's the recipe for the chicken;
Total Ingredients: 7
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook Temp: 225 Celsius
Cook Time: 2 hours
Ingredients:
1 Whole Thawed Chicken
1 clove garlic
2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
Rosemary (fresh is best)
Paprika
Hawaiian Chipotle Topper (from Steeped Tea)
Do the usual beginnings, you know, preheat the oven, chop your veggies etc. Than sprinkle your paprika and rosemary on the chicken. With the topper it does work like a salt and pepper grinder so you have to spend a minute or two grinding it out until you have as much or as little on your chicken as you want. It is a very light taste so the stronger you want it the more i suggest using. Using fresh pineapple to include with your veggies never hurt either if you like it really Hawaiian style. (I couldn't do that cuz my husband doesn't share my pineapple obsession and it was his night to cook) Add the coarsely chopped celery and onion around your chicken in the dish. Cover in tinfoil, put in oven, set timer, and walk away!!
