Ingredients
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp chicken broth
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil divided
- 2 bell peppers mixed colors, chopped
- 1 lb pineapple fresh, chunks
- 2 chicken breast chopped into chunks, large, boneless skinless
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp ginger minced
- 1 red chili deseeded and sliced
- 2 green onions sliced
- jasmine rice to serve
Instructions
- Whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, hoisin and chicken broth and set aside.
- Heat a large wok, skillet or frying pan over a high heat and add 1 tbsp of the oil. Once the oil is shimmering cook the peppers until just starting to soften. Add the pineapple and cook until slightly caramelized. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan along with the chicken. Cook until browned, but not quite cooked through. Stir in the garlic, ginger and chili and cook for about a minute until aromatic.
- Return the cooked peppers and pineapple to the pan along with the sauce. Cook until the sauce has reduced to coat the peppers and pineapple, and the chicken has cooked through.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions before serving with jasmine rice.
Notes
- 4 large skinless boneless chicken thighs can be substituted for the chicken breasts.
- Because of the pineapple chunks, this chicken does not re-heat well but this recipe is easily halved.
