Enjoy this simple one-skillet dish that combines juicy chicken with a zesty sauce, bell peppers, and pineapple for a comforting meal that’s sure to please!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot or tapioca
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 lb chicken pieces
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.
  2. Place the arrowroot or tapioca in a shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper.
  3. Whisk the egg in a separate bowl, season chicken with salt and pepper, lightly coat in the egg, and toss in arrowroot, shaking off excess.
  4. Heat about 1/2 cup of oil in a large deep non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Cook the chicken in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden, placing on a paper-towel-lined plate.
  5. Leave about 1-2 tablespoons of oil in the skillet, adjust heat to medium, and add olive oil if needed. Cook onion and bell peppers for about 2 minutes until crisp tender.
  6. Add garlic and pineapple, cooking for about 1 minute.
  7. Pour the sauce into the skillet and stir to coat, cooking until bubbling and thickening for about 2-3 minutes. Add in the fried chicken pieces and gently toss to coat.
  8. Serve hot with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, either over sautéed cauliflower rice or alongside stir-fried veggies.

Notes

Make sure to adjust the oil temperature while cooking chicken to achieve a perfect golden color.
Feel free to add your favorite veggies for more flavor and nutrients.
This dish pairs well with cauliflower rice or stir-fried veggies for a complete meal.
