Chicken Luau

The minute we decided to feature Coconut as our Flavor of the Month for September, I knew we needed to bring back my all-time favorite recipe for Chicken Luau.

This flavorful dinner dish packs a robust punch of onion with a subtle coconut taste. To achieve the perfect culinary balance, we use the Instant Coconut Mix from NOH  with a sprinkle of Maui Onion Gourmet Sea Salt from For J's . Trust us when we say the combination leaves you with a savory flavor that's bound to make your mouth water.

Enjoy the warm and comforting Chicken Luau as a kickoff to the Fall season!
