Ingredients

1 lb - boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 - egg white
1 tsp - kosher salt
4 teaspoons - cornstarch
15 ounces cans - pineapple chunks
¼ cup - white vinegar
¼ cup - ketchup
2 tablespoons - brown sugar
1 tbsp - oil
1 - red bell pepper
1 - yellow bell pepper
1 cup - snow peas
1 tsp - ginger
4 - scallions

Instructions

Place the chicken cubes in a bowl and toss with the cornstarch. Add the whisked egg and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature, or overnight in the fridge.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saute pan or wok over high heat. Add the chicken in an even layer, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove to a plate.
Turn the heat to medium and add more oil if needed. Add the bell peppers, snow peas, and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Add the pineapple chunks, sauce, and chicken. Turn the heat up to high and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Top with the chopped scallions.
