Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken with Rice Noodles

This was so good! I love cooking Asian inspired dishes because I do not like them from restaurants. Way to oily and greasy and makes me feel ill. This was pretty simple but time consuming. I definitely recommend making it though instead of ordering take-out. Enjoy!

Ingredients

Chicken breasts

Rice noodles
Sesame seeds
1 Tbsp cornstarch

1 Tbsp cold water
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup sugar
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 Tbsp of minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground ginger (I used ginger paste)
½ teaspoon black pepper 

Pineapple

Cooking spray

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees

2. In a small saucepan combine together the cornstarch, cold water, soy sauce, sugar, apple cider vinegar,  minced garlic , ground ginger, black pepper and whisk until all the ingredients are well blended

3. Cook on low heat, stirring often, until the sauce bubbles and thickens.  Remove from heat and set aside

4. Wash and dry the chicken breasts. Cut the chicken into pieces or cubes

5. Place chicken cubes on a greased baking dish.  Brush the chicken with the sauce. Make sure to coat all of the pieces evenly

6. Bake the chicken for 15 minutes, and then take the dish out and brush with sauce. Bake for another 15 minutes 

7. While the chicken is cooking follow the directions on the box of rice noodles

8. When the noodles are soft, drain them and place in a large bowl. Pour the remaining sauce from the saucepan onto the noddles and mix well

9. When the chicken is done, place the pieces of chicken (and whatever sauce is left in the baking dish) into the bowl of rice noodles and mix

10. Sprinkle with sesame seeds

11. Add chopped up pineapple to the chicken/noodles
