Ingredients
Chicken Prep
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
Hawaiian Sauce:
- 1 cup pineapple juice (I used the juice from the can)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 (20 oz.) can pineapple tidbits, drained – Use the juice to mix with the sauce
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan and preheat the oven to 325 degrees
- Season chicken with salt and pepper and cut in bite-size pieces.
- Place cornstarch in a Ziploc bag, and eggs in a separate medium bowl.
- Shake up chicken pieces in cornstarch to coat, then coat in eggs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook coated chicken, until golden-brown on all sides. (Don’t cook it all the way through. It will finish in the oven.)
- Place chicken in the prepared dish.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the Hawaiian sauce ingredients; pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic and cornstarch.
- Pour evenly over chicken.
- Sprinkle the top of the chicken with the chopped bell pepper and pineapple.

- Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving.
