Sweet Soy Chicken Stir-Fry
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 carrots, julienned
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 4 shallots, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, slivered
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks in natural juice, liquid drained and reserved
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
1
Preheat your cooking vessel by heating the oil over a medium-high flame; sear the chicken and carrots in the hot oil until they reach an internal temperature that indicates the chicken is fully cooked and the carrots are soft, approximately 5 minutes. Introduce the aromatic ingredients - garlic and ginger - into the sizzling oil; allow them to cook for another minute. Incorporate the shallots and bell pepper into the mixture, cooking for an additional 1 minute.

Combine 3 tablespoons of the liquid that was set aside from the canned pineapple with the pineapple chunks, water, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, and pepper flakes; blend this mixture into the chicken and vegetable combination, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
