WAIKIKI BEACH CHICKEN AND PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F 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 350°F.
• 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 20 more minutes.
• To serve, place about 2/3 cup rice on plate and top with a chicken breast.
• Top with plenty of the pineapple and pepper rings and drizzle a generous amount of the sauce over all.
• Serve at once.
• NOTE: Be sure to use Heinz apple cider vinegar, not a store brand in the sauce.
• Using any other brand will make the sauce foam up and boil over in addition to having a poor flavor.
