Waikiki Beach Chicken And Pineapple

The sauce for this dish is somewhat like a sweet and sour sauce, but has a brighter flavor and is easier to make. I have made this many times and always gets rave reviews. Rumor has it this dish was once on the menu at a popular restaurant on waikiki beach.

Steps

Preheat oven to 400f and spray a 9x13 baking pan or dish with cooking spray.
Set aside.
Trim any visible fat from chicken breasts and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Coat chicken with flour , shaking off any excess.
Place chicken in prepared dish and place in oven while preparing sauce.
Drain juice from pineapple into a medium saucepan and set pineapple chunks aside.
Add the vinegar , sugar , soy sauce , ginger , and bouillon cube to saucepan.
Combine cornstarch and water and blend until smooth.
Add to saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat , whisking slowly to dissolve sugar.
Boil for two minutes , whisking vigorously.
The sauce should thicken and turn clear after boiling for about 1 minute or so.
Pour sauce over chicken and lower oven temperature to 350f.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile , remove stem and seeds from green pepper and remove white veins.
Slice into rings and set aside.
Distribute pineapple chunks and pepper rings evenly over chicken and bake .
