Finding a dinner recipe that all three of my kids like can be difficult.
We've hit a sweet spot where my kids are all good eaters, but they all have different tastes. These Baked Hawaiian Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches, though, were a hit with everyone.
The flavors were inspired by Hawaiian barbecue chicken pizza, and the sandwiches are a mix of tangy barbecue sauce, sweet pineapple, and tender shredded chicken.
Not only were these sandwiches a hit, but they're also really fast and easy to make. I pair these sandwiches with an simple salad for a quick dinner that's ready in less than 30 minutes.

After reading several comments about poor quality of the finished product it occurred to me that everyone needs an oven thermometer!! If the oven is off even a few degrees your hard work will not turn out the way you expected and that can be very ugly if you were preparing it for a gathering. The cost is minimal~less than $5.00~and worth every penny!!

Yours is the first comment on this post, so I'm not sure which post you're referring to. =) But I completely agree about how helpful an oven thermometer can be! An oven thermometer and a meat thermometer are both inexpensive and incredibly useful in the cooking and baking process.
