Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Chicken breast
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Cold water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the marinade. In a medium bowl, mix together coconut aminos, honey, and rice vinegar. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger, adding them to the mixture.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Stir to coat well. Cover and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for stronger flavor.

Step 3

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

Step 5

Add the chopped bell pepper and onion to the skillet, sautéing until the vegetables are slightly softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 6

Add the pineapple chunks and reserved marinade into the skillet. Stir to combine and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Pour this mixture into the skillet, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 8

Season the dish with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 9

Serve the soy-free pineapple chicken hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite side dish.
