Instructions

Prep all the veggies/pineapple, then cut up the chicken and whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce. Set everything aside, and then heat a large, (15″) skillet over high heat.

When the skillet is hot, add 1 tablespoon of the oil and sauté the chicken until it’s just done and browned. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.

Add the remaining oil to the pan along with the onions and peppers. Sauté until crisp tender, then add the pineapple, and cook just until it starts to soften, 2-3 minutes.

Then add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Finally add the reserved chicken along with the sauce and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened.

Remove the stir fry from the heat, stir in the green onions, and serve with your choice of sides and and optional sprinkle of sesame seeds over the top.
