Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut chicken, onion, and bell pepper into bite-size pieces. Drain pineapple tidbits and reserve pineapple juice for another use.
- Place cornstarch in a shallow dish. Dredge each chicken piece in cornstarch then dip in beaten egg.
- Heat oil to medium heat in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook until lightly browned. It doesn't need to be cooked through.
- Place drained pineapple tidbits, pepper, and onion in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Position chicken tenders evenly over pineapple and vegetables.
- In a medium bowl, stir sauce ingredients together with a whisk.
- Pour over chicken. Toss chicken and vegetables lightly until covered with sauce.
- Bake for 50 minutes, turning once after 25 minutes.
Notes
- Double the sauce recipe.
- Pour half over the chicken (as the recipe calls for) and simmer the other half in a small saucepan for 10-15 minutes.
- If you want to thicken the sauce, combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1/4 cup of water. About 5 minutes before serving, SLOWLY whisk in cornstarch mixture to simmering sauce until the consistency is where you want it. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.
