Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the chicken breast pieces dry with a paper towel. In a mixing bowl, toss the chicken with cornstarch, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- While the skillet is heating, prepare the sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until fully combined.
- Carefully add the coated chicken pieces to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until each piece is golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers and stir-fry them for about 2-3 minutes over medium heat.
- Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and bell peppers in the skillet. Stir to evenly coat the chicken and vegetables with the sauce.
- To achieve that glossy finish, stir in a cornstarch slurry made from a bit of cornstarch mixed with water.
- Finally, add fresh pineapple chunks to the skillet, stirring gently to incorporate them into the Pineapple Chicken.

Notes
Avoid overcrowding the skillet; it leads to steaming rather than searing. Adjust sweetness to personal taste.
