**Polynesian Peach Chicken: A Taste of Paradise**
Take a culinary journey to the enchanting islands of Polynesia with our Polynesian Peach Chicken, a dish that embodies the vibrant flavors and aromas of the Pacific. This tantalizing chicken dish features tender chicken breasts marinated in a delectable blend of soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and a hint of ginger, creating a symphony of sweet, savory, and tangy notes. The chicken is then grilled to perfection, resulting in a beautifully charred exterior and a juicy, succulent interior.
Accompanying the chicken are two tantalizing sauces that elevate the dish to new heights of flavor. The Polynesian Sauce, a harmonious blend of crushed pineapple, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch, adds a sweet and tangy glaze to the chicken. The Peach Salsa, a refreshing combination of diced peaches, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice, provides a burst of freshness and acidity that perfectly complements the richness of the chicken.
As an appetizer, our Polynesian Peach Chicken Skewers offer a fun and flavorful twist. Succulent chicken pieces are marinated in the same delectable marinade and grilled, then skewered with juicy peach chunks and drizzled with Polynesian Sauce. These skewers are perfect for parties or as a light and satisfying snack.
For a complete Polynesian feast, try our Polynesian Peach Chicken Salad. This vibrant salad features grilled chicken, fresh peaches, crunchy almonds, and a drizzle of tangy Polynesian Dressing. The combination of sweet, savory, and refreshing ingredients creates a delightful and satisfying meal.

Steps:
- Combine the flour in a plastic bag with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the chicken pieces, and toss to coat evenly with flour. Heat the corn oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Shake the excess flour from the chicken pieces, and place into the hot oil. Cook until browned on all sides turning occasionally, about 15 minutes. Pour in the water, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, stir in the onion and green bell pepper. Cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and the onion is tender, about 10 minutes. Pour 2 tablespoons of the reserved peach juice into a small bowl, and set aside. Pour the remaining peach juice into the pot along with the soy sauce and vinegar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Dissolve the cornstarch in the reserved peach juice, and stir into the boiling sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and is no longer cloudy, about 1 minute. Stir in the peach halves and chopped tomatoes. Cook and stir until the peaches are hot and the tomatoes are beginning to fall apart, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.

- Choose ripe and juicy peaches: This will ensure that your chicken dish has a sweet and flavorful sauce.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to give each piece enough space so that it can brown evenly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: This is important for both safety and flavor. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Simmer the sauce until it is thickened: This will help to develop the flavors and create a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Serve the chicken with rice or noodles: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
