Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1 bell pepper (red or green), sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 small carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil, divided
  • For the Sauce:
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice (from can or fresh)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and the cornstarch slurry; set aside.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt & pepper, and stir-fry until cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  3. Add remaining oil; stir-fry garlic, ginger, and white part of green onions for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add bell pepper, broccoli, and carrot; stir-fry 3–4 minutes until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  5. Add pineapple chunks and cooked chicken back to the pan; stir to combine.
  6. Pour sauce over mixture and stir-fry until sauce thickens and coats everything evenly, about 1–2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with green onion greens, and serve over rice or noodles.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for extra flavor; reserve juice for the sauce.
  • Customize vegetables—snap peas, zucchini, or mushrooms work well.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha.
  • Make it gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to preserve texture.
