Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 cup sweet & sour sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Ensuring the oven is preheated is crucial for even cooking.
- In a bowl, mix diced chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- This step helps in infusing the chicken with basic flavors before it absorbs the sweet and sour sauce.
- Spread the chicken on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Baking the chicken initially helps in sealing the juices, making it tender and juicy.
- Add pineapple and bell pepper to the chicken. Pour sweet & sour sauce on top.
- The pineapple and bell pepper add a fresh crunch and sweetness that perfectly complements the chicken.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
- Check if the chicken is fully cooked by ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve over cooked rice.
- The rice acts as a perfect base, absorbing the delicious sweet and sour sauce.
