Hawaiian Chicken {Sweet and Sour Chicken}
Lightly breaded baked chicken with a simple sweet and sour sauce.
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- 2-3 Tbsp oil
- 20 oz can pineapple tidbits or chunks reserve juice
- 1 green pepper sliced
Sauce
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- ½ tsp chicken base or bouillon
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¾ cup water
Instructions
- Mix flour, salt and pepper in a large shallow dish. Coat chicken in flour mixture and brown in oil in a skillet over medium high heat (you don’t need to cook all the way). Place chicken in 9x13" pan.
- To make sauce, combine sugar, cornstarch, and bouillon in saucepan. Slowly stir in remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour sauce over chicken. Add as much of the pineapple as you like. (I usually use about 2/3 of the can and let my kids eat the rest of the pineapple.)
- Bake uncovered at 350° for about 25 minutes. Add green peppers and cook for about 5 minutes longer or till peppers are hot and chicken juices run clear. Serve with rice.
