Instructions

  • Cut the chicken into bite size cubes, season with salt and pepper then set aside.
  • Preheat a large skillet to medium high heat and add 1 tbsp avocado oil. Once hot add the chicken and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked.
  • Meanwhile, slice the peppers into large chunks and set aside.
  • Once the chicken is cooked add the peppers to the skillet and mix well. Saute for about 5 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
  • Add 1 cup of pineapple juice (from the can), soy sauce, ketchup, dijon mustard, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, minced garlic, ginger powder, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl then mix well until everything is well incorporated.
  • Add the sauce and 1 cup chopped fresh pineapple (from the can) to the skillet and mix. Let it simmer for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, so that the sauce thickens and everything is well covered.
  • Serve with rice and top with a little bit of fresh pineapple and enjoy!
