★★★★★ 999 Reviews: My BEST #Recipes >> CHINESE PINEAPPLE CHICKEN
made a chicken pineapple dish. This is similar to lemon chicken, or sweet and sour chicken without red food coloring. After you make it, you will be surprised how easy it is to imitate the Chinese food taken home.
Except I think it tastes fresher and is a little healthier than being taken home. Serve with white rice and some vegetables. Be sure to soak chicken before as I mentioned in the recipe; it makes chicken more delicious and softer. especially eating with family and served at lunch
Ingredients for Chicken:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 egg
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 3 Tbsp. flour
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- corn or canola oil for frying
Ingredients for Sauce:
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 c. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch + 1 Tbsp. water

Directions:
1) In a bowl, cut 2 chicken breasts into chunks. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper, and egg. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
2) Add flour and cornstarch to chicken to create a thick batter. Heat oil in large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add chicken and fry until chicken is browned, turning if necessary. Remove chicken from oil onto a plate lined with paper towels.
3) In a medium saucepan, combine pineapples and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil then add brown sugar and soy sauce, and simmer for 5 minutes.
4) In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water into a paste. Pour into sauce and stir until thick enough to coat a spoon. Pour chicken pieces into a saucepan and mix until thoroughly coated. Serve with steamed white rice.
