Servings: 4
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1/4 cup green onions sliced thinly
- Garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onions
For the Sauce:
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 3 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tsp fresh grated ginger
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch + 2 Tbsp water
Make the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir it into the sauce. Set aside.
Cook the chicken. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5 to 6 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cook the vegetables. Add the broccoli and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring often, until crisp-tender. Stir in the pineapple chunks and return the cooked chicken to the pan.
Add the sauce. Whisk the sauce one more time and pour it into the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.
Garnish and serve. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions. Serve over cooked white rice, brown rice, jasmine rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice and garnish with sesame seeds and extra green onions.
