Ingredients
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces pineapple chunks in 100% juice , drained separating the pineapple chunks from juice
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- ⅔ cups brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 1 red bell pepper , diced
- 1 green bell pepper , diced
- ½ yellow onion , diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic , finely minced
- 1 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Dice the chicken into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
- Place the cornstarch, beat eggs and panko in three seperate bowls for breading.
- Begin dredging your chicken with the cornstarch first, then egg and lastly the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded chicken cubes on a plate until all are completed.
- Combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and pineapple juice in a bowl or large measuring cup and stir to combine.
- Heat the oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot (about 350°F), begin frying the chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, or until golden brown, flipping once halfway through the cook time. Working in batches to not crowd the pan.
- Remove the cooked chicken to a sheet pan lined with a cooling rack to drain.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil and remove as much excess breadcrumb from the pan as possible.
- Add the onions and peppers and saute until tender and the onions are beginning to caramelize.
- Add the pineapple chunks and garlic to the pan and stir, cooking for about 30 seconds to one minute.
- Pour sauce over the peppers and stir until the sauce is smooth and beginning to bubble.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer until it thickens slightly, approximately 2 minutes, then return the chicken to the pan and toss it all to combine. Serve immediately.
