Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast meat, cubed
- 1 cup carrot strips
- ½ cup sliced green bell pepper
- ½ cup sliced red bell pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- 1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 pound of cubed skinless, boneless chicken breast, 1 cup of carrot strips, ½ cup of sliced green bell pepper, ½ cup of sliced red bell pepper, 1 clove of minced garlic, ¼ cup of low sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 1 can (8 ounces) of pineapple chunks with juice reserved, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger.
- 2. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 3. Once the oil is hot, add the 1 pound of cubed chicken breast to the pan. Stir-fry the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, or until it is golden brown and cooked through.
- 4. After the chicken is browned, add 1 cup of carrot strips, ½ cup of sliced green bell pepper, ½ cup of sliced red bell pepper, and 1 clove of minced garlic to the pan. Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, for an additional 1-2 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- 5. In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup of low sodium soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch until well combined.
- 6. Pour the soy sauce and cornstarch mixture into the wok or skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
- 7. Next, add the reserved juice from the pineapple chunks, 1 tablespoon of vinegar, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon of ground ginger to the pan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- 8. Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full boil. Allow it to cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- 9. Finally, stir in the pineapple chunks and mix well. Cook for an additional minute to heat the pineapple through.
- 10. Remove from heat and serve immediately over hot cooked rice, if desired.
