Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • ¹/₂ teaspoon paprika
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper cubed
  • 1 bunch scallion trimmed and sliced into 1/2 inch lengths
  • 1 (12 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained, juice reserved
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Combine soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, and salt in a bowl. Add chicken strips and let marinate while preparing the remaining ingredients.
  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
  4. Add scallions and cook for 2 more minutes.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and add to the wok; discard marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Combine pineapple juice and cornstarch in a bowl; mix together. Add pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Pour in pineapple juice mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.
