This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic sweet and sour chicken, combining tender chicken with a medley of vegetables and a tangy sauce, all baked to perfection.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Spread the uncooked rice evenly in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
Ensure the rice is evenly distributed for consistent cooking.
Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice.
Arrange the chicken so it covers the rice evenly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the juice from the canned pineapple, sweet and sour sauce, and chicken broth. Mix well.
Mixing the liquids thoroughly ensures a balanced flavor.
Scatter the bell peppers, onions, and pineapple tidbits over the chicken.
Use a variety of bell pepper colors for a visually appealing dish.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
Pour slowly to ensure the sauce covers all ingredients.
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
Sealing with foil traps steam, cooking the rice and chicken thoroughly.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the top to brown slightly.
This step enhances the texture and appearance of the dish.
Serve the dish hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of chopped parsley or cilantro adds a fresh touch.
