Ingredients
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha optional
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 large eggs beaten
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups diced pineapple canned or fresh
- 1 green onion thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9x13 baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.
- To make the sauce, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, ginger and Sriracha in a medium bowl; set aside.
- In a large bowl, season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in cornstarch and gently toss to combine. Working one at a time, dip chicken into the eggs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; discard excess oil.
- Add chicken and pineapple to prepared baking dish. Top with pineapple juice mixture.
- Place into oven and bake until the sauce has thickened, about 55 minutes, turning over every 15 minutes to evenly coat the chicken.
- Serve immediately, garnished with green onion and sesame seeds, if desired.
