Ingredients:

3 chicken breasts, sliced thinly

1 cup flour
1 can of pineapple chunks with juice
1 red bell pepper, cubed
2 tbsp of corn starch 2 tbsp of water
green onions for garnish
1 tbsp of brown sugar

Additional Notes:

Chicken: You can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe. If you prefer a lighter option, you can trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts. Additionally, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.

Pineapple: Fresh pineapple works best for this recipe as it adds a vibrant, juicy flavor. However, if fresh pineapple is not available, you can use canned pineapple tidbits or chunks. Just make sure to drain the canned pineapple well before using it in the recipe.

Breading: To achieve a crispy coating on the chicken, we recommend using a combination of flour and breadcrumbs. You can use regular all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. For the breadcrumbs, you can use store-bought or make your own by grinding stale bread in a food processor.

Seasoning: Enhance the flavor of your crispy chicken by adding seasoning to the flour mixture. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried herbs like thyme or oregano, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a subtle kick. Feel free to experiment with your favorite seasonings to customize the taste to your liking.

Frying: Heat a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, in a large skillet or frying pan. The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when you add the chicken but not smoking. Fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy on both sides, then transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Pineapple Sauce: Prepare a simple and tangy pineapple sauce by combining pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and a cornstarch slurry to thicken it. Adjust the sweetness and tanginess according to your preference by adding more or less honey and vinegar. You can also add a touch of ginger or garlic for extra flavor.

Serving Suggestions: Serve the crispy pineapple chicken with steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal. You can also add some steamed vegetables or a side salad to round out the dish. Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro for a fresh and colorful touch.

Remember, cooking is all about personal taste and creativity. Feel free to adjust the recipe according to your preferences and experiment with additional ingredients or spices to make it your own signature dish. Enjoy your thrifty crispy pineapple chicken!
