Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in cornstarch until well coated.

  2. 2

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, minced ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Everything

    In the same skillet, add bell peppers and pineapple chunks. Sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add the fried chicken back to the skillet along with the sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until everything is heated through and well coated with sauce.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot over rice or noodles if desired.
