First cube four boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Dip each piece in milk (almond milk, dairy, soy milk, your choice) and roll in tapioca starch (potato starch, corn starch, your choice).
Who doesn't love a plate full of raw chicken???
Next pour about 2 tablespoons of Olive Oil into a frying pan and lightly brown the chicken.
Transfer it to a baking dish or if your frying pan can go in the oven, feel free to use that!
Next is the sauce...seriously this sauce is not for the diabetic readers!
Mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, garlic and onion powder.
Add in apple cider vinegar.
Next add the ketchup.
Whisk this glorious sweet mixture together! If you prefer a little more sour than sweet, add more vinegar. This recipe was made to satisfy my sweet tooth and is more sweet than sour as written!
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the baking dish.
Chop whatever vegetables you want to add. An onion, red and/or green peppers, carrots, etc. This is a great way to hide some vegetables and get your kids to eat them in a yummy sauce!
Add a can of pineapple chunks.
Mix together the chicken, sauce, pineapple and veges and bake for 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes.
You get a beautiful dish that smells and tastes soooo good!
Serve with rice or noodles (shown with gluten-free quinoa noodles) and enjoy!
This is one your whole family will love!
