Instructions

Pour one Tablespoon of avocado oil into a large skillet, then put the skillet on medium-high heat.

When hot, add the cubed chicken, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 4 to 5 minutes.

Add broccoli florets, chopped red bell pepper and pineapple pieces to the skillet. Stir and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are soft.

When chicken and veggies are cooking, you can prepare the sauce. Combine together soy sauce, pineapple juice, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and cornstarch into a small mixing bowl. Using a whisk, mix until thoroughly combined

Add the sauce to a small saucepan and heat on medium heat. Allow the sauce to come to a simmer. Whisk continuously and cook for about 3-4 minutes or until sauce thickens.

Start pouring the sauce over the prepared chicken and veggies. Toss them until they're thoroughly mixed.

Serve pineapple chicken over rice if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Dry Your Chicken Properly 🎯
Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels before cutting and cooking—this ensures proper browning and prevents steam from making the meat rubbery during the stir-fry.
Cornstarch Coating Technique ✨
Toss your diced chicken in cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt 10 minutes before cooking to create a silky, velvety texture that locks in moisture and creates a light crust.
Prep All Ingredients Before Heat 🔪
Have all vegetables, pineapple, and sauce components measured and ready before you start cooking—stir-frying happens quickly, and scrambling mid-cook compromises texture and timing.
Maximize Umami with Sesame Oil 🌟
Add sesame oil in the final 30 seconds of cooking rather than at the start—heat diminishes its nutty aroma, so this timing preserves its complex flavor and prevents it from becoming acrid.
Fresh Pineapple Timing Strategy 🍍
Add fresh pineapple chunks in the last minute of cooking to maintain their sweetness and prevent them from breaking down; use the juice in your sauce for maximum flavor without losing texture.
