Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened sliced pineapple
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 medium green pepper, cut into rings
Hot cooked rice

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt and pepper. Add chicken, one piece, at a time, and shake to coat. In a skillet, brown chicken in oil. Transfer to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch, bouillon and ginger. Drain pineapple into a 2-cup measuring cup; set pineapple aside. Add enough cold water to juice to measure 1-1/4 cups. Stir in vinegar and soy sauce. Gradually whisk into sugar mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Pour sauce over chicken; top with green pepper and reserved pineapple. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 20-30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 170°. Serve with rice. Yield: 6 servings.

I made this for dinner last week , it was pretty good but if I ever make it again I will cut the amount of sugar in half.

While this is going in my recipe book, next time I'll be adding some minced garlic and some paprika as the flavor wasn't very deep. I used red peppers instead of green and they and the pineapples were amazing. The cook time was more like 40 minutes.

THis was delicious- my whole family loved it. I used a bit less sugar because I had made a similar recipe and it was super sweet. This was much better, probably even if I had used full amount of sugar- I was just being cautious, and of course, less sugar doesn't hurt you. Highly recommend.

Did a little substituting to make it healthier but this recipe was VERY good. Used almond flour, olive oil, and fresh pineapple. I also substituted the sugar for a little agave nectar.
