  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Hawaiian Sauce Ingredients

  • cup  pineapple juice – this is normally about the amount of juice left in the tidbits can
  • 1/2  cup  brown sugar
  • 1/3  cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2  Tbsp cornstarch
  • red bell pepper  chopped and seeds removed
  • 20 oz. can pineapple tidbits drained

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325° F. Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Cut chicken breasts in bite-size pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • Place cornstarch in a large Ziploc bag, and eggs in a separate medium bowl. Toss chicken pieces in cornstarch to coat, then coat in eggs.
  • In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook coated chicken until golden-brown on all sides. (It will not cook all the way through. It will finish baking in the oven.)
  • Place chicken in the prepared dish.
  • In a medium bowl add the Hawaiian sauce ingredients; pineapple juice, soy sauce, garlic, brown sugar and cornstarch. Pour over the top of the chicken.
  • Sprinkle the top of the chicken with the chopped bell pepper and pineapple.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. (Stirring the chicken every 15 minutes or so allows it to evenly coat in sauce.)
  • Remove from oven and allow it to cool 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve Sweet Hawaiian Chicken with favorite sides.
