How to Make Pineapple Chicken: A Step-by-Step Guide

Pineapple chicken is a vibrant, sweet-and-savory dish that’s easy to make and perfect for weeknight dinners. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients:

- 1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced thin

- 1 fresh pineapple, cored and cubed (or 1 can pineapple chunks)

- 1 bell pepper, sliced

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 1 tablespoon honey

- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken slices and toss to coat. Let it marinate for 15–20 minutes.

2. Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken and stir-fry for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add pineapple and bell pepper. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until pineapple caramelizes slightly.

4. Combine and Serve: Return chicken to the skillet. Toss everything together for 1–2 minutes. Serve hot over rice or noodles, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or a light salad. Enjoy your homemade pineapple chicken!
