Ingredients
• Pineapple Juice (1/2 cup): The base for that unmistakable tropical sweetness. Use the juice from canned pineapple for convenience and consistency.
• Chicken Broth (1/3 cup): Adds depth and savory notes, balancing the sweetness.
• Honey (1/4 cup): Natural sweetness that enhances the pineapple’s tropical flair.
• Hoisin Sauce (2 tablespoons): This thick, flavorful sauce brings a savory umami element with a hint of sweetness.
• Soy Sauce (2 tablespoons): The backbone of Asian-inspired dishes, adding a salty, rich flavor.
• Rice Vinegar (2 teaspoons): A mild tanginess that brightens the overall flavor profile.
• Cornstarch (2 teaspoons): Ensures a glossy, thickened sauce that clings to every bite.
• Chicken (1 1/2 pounds): Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces. Thighs offer a juicier texture, while breasts keep it lean.
• Vegetable Oil (1 tablespoon): For stir-frying. Opt for oils with a high smoke point like canola or peanut oil.
• Red Bell Pepper (1): Brings sweetness and a pop of color. Cut into 3/4-inch dice for uniform cooking.
• Onion (1): Adds an aromatic sweetness that complements the dish. Dice into similar-sized pieces as the bell pepper.
• Garlic (2 cloves) and Ginger (1 teaspoon): Essential for their aromatic, zesty flavors.
• Canned Pineapple Chunks (1 1/2 cups): Juicy bursts of sweetness that complement the savory chicken and sauce.
• Green Onions (1/2 cup, sliced): A fresh, slightly sharp garnish that adds flavor and color.
• Sesame Seeds (1/2 teaspoon): A subtle, nutty crunch to finish the dish.
• Salt and Pepper: For seasoning the chicken.
