How to Make Sweet And Sour Topped Baked Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and prick 4 large russet potatoes several times with a fork. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until tender.
  3. While potatoes bake, prepare the sweet and sour topping. In a large skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 green bell pepper, chopped, in 1 tablespoon of oil for 5 minutes, until softened.
  4. Add 1 ¾ cups pineapple juice and bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in ½ cup sugar, ¼ cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and a dash of Tabasco sauce (to taste).
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup pineapple juice and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  7. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  8. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces, and 1 cup of chopped carrots. Simmer until the chicken is cooked through and heated thoroughly (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Once potatoes are cooked, carefully split them open lengthwise.
  10. Fluff the insides of the potatoes with a fork and generously top with the sweet and sour chicken and vegetable mixture.
