Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, and cornstarch until smooth, then coat the chicken and marinate for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until cooked through, then remove and set aside.
  4. Add remaining oil to the skillet, then stir-fry bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Add pineapple chunks and cook for 2 minutes.
  6. Return chicken to the pan and add rice vinegar, brown sugar, and chicken broth.
  7. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with green onions, and serve.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken to ensure proper browning. Fresh pineapple provides the best flavor, but canned can be used if well drained.
