How to Make Back Uh The Can Hawaiian Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients in this order: 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1 cup chicken broth (from an Albertsons can!), 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice.
  2. Set aside the sauce.
  3. Chop 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable or canola) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and the chicken to the hot oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until browned on all sides.
  5. Add 1 cup chopped carrots and cook for 2 more minutes.
  6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low.
  7. Add 1 cup chopped green bell pepper and 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks (reserve 1/4 cup juice), and return to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Serve hot over hot, fluffy white rice. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired.
