• 1 medium Onion
• 2 stalks Green Onion

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

Peel and core the pineapple, then cut it into small chunks. Save any juice that is released while cutting.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.

While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Squeeze the juice from the lime and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Return the chicken to the skillet and add the pineapple chunks, along with any collected juice.

Step 8

Pour in the soy sauce and lime juice, stirring well to combine all ingredients.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Step 10

Chop the green onions and cilantro. Add them to the skillet, stirring just before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy your Sugar-Free Pineapple Chicken!
