Cook and stir until thoroughly cooked, browned and crispy; about 12 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and place in a bowl. Tent with foil and set aside.

  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the bell peppers, onion and pineapple. Pour in the sweet Thai chili sauce and gently stir to combine everything. Cook another minute or until mixture is heated through. Serve immediately and enjoy!
