Sweet Pineapple Chicken

~30 mins

~4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb chicken (2-3 breasts)

2 tsp Oil

1 Red Bell Pepper (diced)

1/2 cup Pineapple

1 cup Pineapple Juice

1/3 cup Chicken Broth

1/4 cup Soy Sauce

2 tbsp Brown Sugar

1 Garlic Clove (minced)

1 tsp Ginger (grated)

1 tbsp Corn Starch

Optional: red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, green onions

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, add the pineapple juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic & ginger.
Cut chicken into ~1-inch pieces and season them with salt and pepper.
Preheat a large pan to medium heat and add the oil to the pan. Cook the chicken in the pan until almost fully cooked (8-10 mins).
Add the diced bell pepper to the pan and cook for 2-3 mins (until mostly tender).
Add pineapple pieces and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Add the sauce to the pan and let it simmer for ~5 mins.
Mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp of water until the clumps are gone. Slowly add the mixture to the pan until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Serve on rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, or chili flakes if desired!

Notes

If you are using canned pineapple, you can use the juice from the can for the recipe.
You can use chicken thighs if that's what you have!
