Description

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1½ pounds (680g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 cups (330g) fresh pineapple chunks (or canned in juice, drained)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15g) fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ cup (120ml) low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup (60ml) pineapple juice
  • 3 tablespoons (45g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons (10g) cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water to create a slurry. Set both aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and let cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 2 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add bell peppers and onion wedges to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables begin to soften.
  5. Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture into the pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Stir the cornstarch slurry again and drizzle it into the pan while stirring constantly. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes as the sauce thickens.
  7. Gently fold in the pineapple chunks and cook for a final 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
  9. Serve hot over rice or your favorite side dish.
