Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 1 cup dry white or brown rice
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (use gluten-free tamari, if needed)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1½-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, halved, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup small broccoli florets
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup chopped pineapple
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
  1. Cook the rice according to the package directions or using my favorite method. While that cooks, make the stir fry.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, water, vinegar, and ginger.
  3. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir fry for 7 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken with a slotted spoon to a plate.
  4. Add the pepper and broccoli to your skillet, and stir fry for 4 minutes, or until crisp tender. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Add the pineapple and cooked chicken, and cook for 2 more minutes, or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  6. Whisk the sauce, and add it to your skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened, stirring frequently.
  7. Serve the pineapple chicken over rice and sprinkle with the green onions.
