Number Of Ingredients 14

2 - 3 pounds chicken pieces
flour
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 large green bell pepper, cut crosswise (in circles)
------------------------------
Sauce:
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3/8 cup cider vinegar
3/8 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 chicken bouillon cube

Steps:

  • Shake the chicken in a paper bag with flour, salt and pepper. Brown in a skillet, then place uncovered in glass baking dish. Bake in 350° oven for 1-1 1/4 hours. While chicken is baking, make the Sauce. Place pineapple and green bell pepper over chicken during last half hour of baking time. Serve with rice and a tossed salad or cooked vegetables. Sauce: Combine ingredients in a saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, and boil 2 minutes until Sauce thickens. Pour immediately over chicken while it is baking. Fun Fact: In 1493, Christopher Columbus brought a pineapple back to Europe from his voyage through the Carib islands. To the Carib, the pineapple symbolized hospitality, and the Spaniards soon learned they were welcome if a pineapple was placed by the entrance to a village. This symbolism spread quickly throughout Europe and North America. Families often put a fresh pineapple in the center of the table when they had visitors. This was not only a colorful centerpiece but symbolized the greatest welcome and hospitality to the visitor. The fruit would then be served after the meal as a special dessert.
