Quick & Easy Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• salt to taste
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
• 1 red bell pepper, cubed
• 1 bunch scallions, trimmed and sliced into 1/2-inch lengths
• 1 (12 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained and juice reserved
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients for the pineapple chicken stir-fry.
2. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, and salt. Add the chicken strips and let them marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and stir-fry for about 3 minutes.
4. Add the scallions to the wok and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the wok. Discard the marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
6. In a separate bowl, combine pineapple juice and cornstarch, mixing thoroughly. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Pour in the pineapple juice mixture and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer until the sauce has thickened, which should take about 3 minutes.
