Sweet Hawaiian Chicken

Crispy chicken bites are baked with a sweet, savory, and slightly sour sauce that cooks into a glaze that sticks to the chicken until it glistens! Pieces of pineapple and bell pepper finish this dish that can be served over freshly cooked rice for an out-of-this-world meal. (Sweet Hawaiian Chicken Recipe)

Ingredients for Baked Hawaiian Chicken 

• Boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• Salt and pepper

• Eggs

• Cornstarch

• Avocado or vegetable oil

• Pineapple tidbits in juice

• Brown sugar

• Low-sodium soy sauce

• Garlic

• Red bell pepper

• Red pepper flakes

• Green onions

• Cooked rice

How To Make Baked Hawaiian Chicken?

    1. Place the beaten eggs into a shallow dish, and the cornstarch in a second shallow dish. Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.

    2. Dip the chicken cubes into the beaten eggs, then into the cornstarch, shaking off any excess.

    3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the chicken pieces, working in batches if needed. Do not overcrowd the skillet or the chicken will cook but not brown. Don’t worry if the chicken is not fully cooked. It just needs to be browned.

    4. Transfer the browned chicken pieces to a 9×13-inch baking dish.

    5. Make the sauce by combining the juice from the pineapple tidbits (it should make around 1 cup of juice), brown sugar, soy sauce, cornstarch, and garlic until well combined. Pour over the chicken.

    6. Add the pineapple tidbits and diced bell pepper over the chicken and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes so the chicken can glaze evenly.

    7. Serve over white rice with sliced green onions on top.

Can I Freeze Hawaiian Chicken?

Yes, this dish can be frozen. Let the baked chicken cool down completely before placing it in an airtight container and storing in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw out in the refrigerator overnight, and reheat in a preheated 350 F oven for about 15 minutes or until heated through.

Can I Add More Veggies to this Dish?

Absolutely! You can add broccoli florets, snow peas, mushrooms, or bamboo shoots. Add the veggies along with the pineapple and bell pepper prior to baking the dish. Remember to stir every 15 minutes so everything cooks evenly and the chicken gets nicely glazed.
