Baked Sticky Chicken

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a glass measuring cup, mix together the ingredients for the sauce.

Step 2

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot and shimmering. Using tongs if desired, dip each piece of chicken in the cornstarch then the egg. Place in the hot oil and cook for about 30 seconds on each side until golden. Transfer cooked chicken to a 9x13 baking dish. Repeat with all the remaining chicken. (You may have to lower the heat occasionally and add more coconut oil if needed.)

Step 3

Add the onion and green pepper to the now empty skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle over top the chicken.

Step 4

Pour the sauce over the chicken. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and sauce is bubbly. Serve over steamed rice. Enjoy!
