Polynesian Peach Chicken Dish

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Polynesian Peach Chicken Dish.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chicken dish, grab a plastic bag and mix together the flour, half a teaspoon of salt, and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.

2. Step 2

   Next, toss in your chicken pieces and give the bag a good shake to ensure they’re evenly coated with the flour mixture.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s heat things up! Pour some corn oil into a Dutch oven and warm it over medium heat.

4. Step 4

   Once the oil is hot, shake off any excess flour from the chicken and carefully place the pieces into the oil.

5. Step 5

   Sizzle them until they’re beautifully browned on all sides, which should take about 15 minutes—don’t forget to turn them occasionally for that perfect golden color.

6. Step 6

   After the chicken is browned, pour in some water, cover the pot, and lower the heat to medium-low.

7. Step 7

   Let it simmer gently for 30 minutes, allowing those flavors to meld together.

8. Step 8

   When the time is up, add in the chopped onion and green bell pepper.

9. Step 9

   Stir everything together and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the onion is tender, which should take about 10 minutes.

10. Step 10

    While that’s happening, take a small bowl and pour in 2 tablespoons of the reserved peach juice—set this aside for later.

11. Step 11

    Now, add the remaining peach juice to the pot along with soy sauce and vinegar, and bring this delightful mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

12. Step 12

    Once boiling, dissolve the cornstarch in the reserved peach juice and stir it into the bubbling sauce.

13. Step 13

    Keep stirring until the sauce thickens and turns clear, which should only take about a minute.

14. Step 14

    Gently fold in the peach halves and chopped tomatoes, if you’re using them, and cook until the peaches are warmed through and the tomatoes start to soften, about 5 minutes.

15. Step 15

    Finally, taste your creation and season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed before serving.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy this comforting dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
