1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
2
Coat with Cornstarch
In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with cornstarch until evenly coated.
3
Chop Vegetables
Dice the bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces.
4
Make the Sauce
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, water, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
5
Cook the Chicken
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove the chicken and set aside.
6
Stir-fry the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
7
Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the sweet and sour sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine.
8
Add Pineapple
Fold in the pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
9
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the sweet and sour chicken over rice or noodles if desired.
