How about Chicken Kabobs? Cut up chicken breast and thread kabobs with pineapple, red onions and green peppers, baste with teriyaki marinade. You could do the same type of Kabob with pork and beef. Adding the veggies %26amp; fruit will help keep the cost down on the meat products. Luau's generally have lots of fresh fruit, pineapple, mangos, melons, etc.





Another option is serving pulled pork for sandwiches. here is a recipe that would work:





4 pound boneless pork shoulder


2 cups apple cider


1 can cola (not diet)


1/4 cup white vinegar


6 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped


2 jalapeno peppers, seeded %26amp; coarsely chopped


1 teaspoons liquid smoke


2 teaspoons kosher salt


2 teaspoons black pepper


2 large sweet onions, sliced thinly


2 tablespoons olive oil





鈥? remove pork shoulder from refrigerator and let rest while you prepared the sauce.





鈥? Place apple cider, vinegar, cola, garlic, jalapenos, 1 tsp salt %26amp; pepper, cumin, %26amp; chipotle chile powder in a blender, puree until smooth.





鈥? Preheat oven to 325 degrees. On the stove top, place a large dutch oven and turn heat to medium high. Add the olive oil. With remaining salt and pepper, season the pork. Sear pork on both sides, 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Turn heat off, remove pork and slowly add 1/3 ot the pureed liquids, stirring to loosen brown bits from pan. Add half the sliced onions, Return pork to pan, add the remaining puree and onions. Cover and place in oven for 4 1/2 - 5 hours.





鈥? Remove from oven, let rest 10 minutes. Using 2 forks, shred the pork into the juices mixing with the onions. serve on buns with a sweet bbq sauce.

Here is a fantastic, one pot recipe for Chicken Biryani and a link to the Healthy Chicken Recipes site which it comes from. Simply get a huge pot (or several pots) and multiply the ingredients accordingly...





For two people, you will need:





1 large free range chicken breast fillet, cut in to 1';(2陆cm) cubes


1 small onion (finely chopped)


2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)


5oz (125g) basmati rice


戮 pint (425ml) fresh chicken stock


陆 small cauliflower head (broken in to small florets)


Tbsp of frozen peas


陆 tsp powdered turmeric


陆 tsp powdered cumin


录 tsp chilli powder


录 tsp ground coriander seeds


1 3'; (7陆cm) cinnamon stick


2 small tomatoes (quartered)


6 slices of cucumber


1 tbsp of freshly chopped coriander, or cilantro as it's known in the USA


Sunflower oil


Salt





Mix the powdered spices in a glass bowl and add enough sunflower oil to make a thin paste. Add the chicken pieces and stir well, making sure all the chicken is coated. Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate for one hour.





Put the stock in a saucepan to heat and bring it up to a boil. Take a large pot and add a little sunflower oil. Sweat the onion and garlic in it for a couple of minutes then add the marinated chicken and stir it around until each piece is completely sealed and has turned opaque. Add the rice, the heated stock, cauliflower, peas and cinnamon stick. Season with salt to taste. Stir thoroughly, bring back to the boil, cover and simmer gently for ten to fifteen minutes or until the rice has absorbed all the stock, stirring occasionally.





Turn off the heat, remove and discard the cinnamon stick, add the coriander, tomato and cucumber and after a final thorough stir, the dish is ready to serve.
