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.
