Notes
- Optional: Cashews, Almonds, and fresh Cilantro. I love to serve this with Homemade Coconut Rice.
- Chicken -- I suggest using boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-size pieces.
- Pineapple Juice -- use fresh pineapple juice in a can or carton.
- Soy Sauce -- this adds the perfect amount of saltiness to the dish. You can also substitute tamari sauce if you prefer gluten-free.
- Sweet Chili Sauce -- a popular sweet and sour sauce made with sugar, picked red chilis, vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt. You can find the Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce in most grocery stores in the Asian section. Trader Joe's also carries their own sweet chili sauce.
