Baked Sweet Hawaiian Chicken

1/4 cup vegetable oil
3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups cornstarch
3 eggs, beaten
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 (20-oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup lite soy sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch


Preheat the oven to 325^F.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper (I skipped the salt entirely because the soy sauce is enough for me and John!)  Toss the chicken in the cornstarch and then dip each piece in the beaten eggs and place in the skillet.  Do not crowd the pan. Brown the chicken on both sides and then transfer it to a 9x13-inch pan.  Add the chopped red pepper and the drained pineapple tidbits.

In a bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until well combined.  Pour over the chicken and pineapple and bake for 1 hour.  Stir the mixture every 15 minutes until done.

This was really good!  Only change I might make is to add a little Sriracha or some crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit.  We had it over rice with a side of steamed broccoli.
