Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Course Main dishes, Poultry
Servings 4 - 6 people

Ingredients
  

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

Sweet Hawaiian Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tbs cornstarch
  • 1 red pepper chopped
  • 1 can 20oz pineapple tidbits drained

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
  • In separate bowls, place cornstarch and slightly beaten eggs. Dip chicken into cornstarch then coat in egg mixture. (yes you dip the chicken first in the cornstarch. I promise this method is amazing.)
  • Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned. Place the chicken in a 9 x 13 greased baking dish.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Add the red pepper and pineapple tidbits. Pour over chicken and bake for 1 hour.
  • I stir the chicken every 15 minutes so that it coated them in the sauce.

Notes

Baked Sweet Hawaiian Chicken

Delicious chicken that gets breaded and baked in a sweet and tangy pineapple sauce. It bakes to perfection and is so much better than takeout!
There is something about this breading that is absolutely incredible.  And then it bakes to golden and crispy perfection and it allows the sauce to thicken up.
