Ingredients Aloha Hawaiian Chicken

Serves 6

For Chicken Preparation:

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

For Hawaiian Sauce:

• 1 cup pineapple juice (can also use juice from canned pineapple)
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 chopped red bell pepper
•  1 (20 oz.) can of pineapple tidbits. Drain the can and reserve the juice for the Hawaiian sauce

Directions:

• Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cut in bite-size pieces.
• Place cornstarch in a quart size or gallon size plastic bag.
• Place eggs in a separate medium bowl.
• Place chicken pieces in the plastic bag filled with cornstarch. Shake to coat chicken pieces.
• Then dip cornstarch coated chicken into the eggs.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Olive oil works too.
• Cook coated and dipped chicken until golden-brown on all sides. Place chicken in the prepared dish. Do not cook chicken fully as the chicken will cook in the oven.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the Hawaiian sauce ingredients; pineapple juice, brown sugar, low sodium soy sauce, garlic and cornstarch. Pour evenly over chicken.
• Sprinkle the top of the chicken with the chopped bell pepper and pineapple.
• Bake chicken uncovered for 1 hour. It is recommended to stir the chicken every 15 minutes to ensure the chicken pieces remain coated in sauce.
• Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
