Baked Sweet Hawaiian Chicken

Hey friends! Today’s recipe is one I posted over three years ago, but thought it was time for a re-fresh. There is no better way to describe this BAKED SWEET HAWAIIAN CHICKEN than saying it is just the best! Golden chicken coated in a sweet and tangy sauce, with pineapples and bell peppers. This chicken is just so incredible!The timing couldn’t be any better to share this Hawaiian-inspired dish when we just booked our third trip to Maui! I am anxiously waiting to eat delicious Hawaiian food when we are there, but until then this amazing chicken fits the bill. It’s actually a lot like my Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe I posted on my blog almost nine years ago. There’s just a few small differences that make a huge difference in the taste. I can’t say enough good things about this Baked Sweet Hawaiian Chicken!
Try it as soon as you can if you haven’t already. I promise, it’s going to become a new family favorite.

Prep time 20 mins
Cook time 1 hour
Total time 1 hour 20 mins

Ingredients

•     3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•     3 eggs, beaten
•     1½ cup cornstarch
•     Salt and pepper to taste
•     1 cup pineapple juice
•     Sweet Hawaiian Ingredients:
•     ¼ cup canola oil
•     ½ tablespoon cornstarch
•     ⅓ cup soy sauce
•     ½ cup brown sugar
•     1 teaspoon minced garlic
•     1 (20 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained
•     1 red pepper chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. 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.)
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. I stir the chicken every 15 minutes so that it coated them in the sauce.
