Ingredients
  

  • One 20-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained (reserve the juice)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ¾ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
  • 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • minced fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • hot cooked rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey and cornstarch until smooth.
  • In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat; saute the chicken until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, saute the bell pepper, onion, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in the remaining oil until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Give the cornstarch mixture another stir, and then add it to the pan along with the chicken and pineapple chunks. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Serve over rice (if desired) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (if desired).
