This bright and zesty stir-fry combines tender slices of chicken with the natural sweetness of pineapple chunks and the crisp texture of green and red peppers.

It&# 226;€™s a quick, weeknight-friendly meal that feels both comforting and exotic. The vibrant colors make it as appealing to the eye as it is to the palate.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Slice the chicken breast into thin strips and toss with Chinese cooking wine and light soy sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Cut the green and red peppers into 1-inch squares. Mince the garlic and ginger.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, water, soy sauce, sugar, and a few drops of sesame oil to create the sauce. Set aside.
  4. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat.
  5. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the marinated chicken to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
  7. Add the green peppers, red peppers, and pineapple chunks. Sprinkle with salt. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  8. Pour the cornstarch sauce mixture into the wok. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables, about 1 minute.
  9. Remove from heat and serve immediately over steamed rice.
