Description
A flavorful chicken stir fry with a sweet and spicy sauce, perfect for serving over rice or noodles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- In a mixing bowl, add soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water until smooth. Add it to the sauce mixture, ensuring it is well blended.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they are golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the pineapple chunks and pour the sauce over the chicken. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken beautifully.
- Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
Notes
- This recipe can also be made with turkey or tofu instead of chicken.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for more or less heat.
- Chopped green onions add freshness and color to the dish.
