Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch until smooth; set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, ginger, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
  4. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet, stirring constantly until it thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.

  6. Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
