Ingredients:

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil

• 1 red bell pepper, cleaned and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon minced ginger
• 3/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 1/3 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons corn starch
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon sliced green onions
• Salt and pepper to taste

Guidelines:
Get the veggies and chicken ready: In a large skillet or wok, start by heating the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken bits when the oil reaches the proper temperature. After seaasoning the chicken with a little amount of salt and pepper, sauté it for five to seven minutes, tossing now and again, until it is cooked through and has browned on both sides.
Include the Aromatics: Add the chicken to the pan along with the minced ginger and garlic.
Stir in the Vegetables: To the skillet, add the pineapple pieces and red bell pepper. Stir-fry the mixture for 3–4 minutes, or until the pineapple is cooked through and the bell pepper begins to soften.

To prepare the sauce, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, chicken stock, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl. To prevent lumps, make sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Blend and Emulsify: Transfer the sauce into the pan containing the chicken and veggies. Make sure everything has an equal coat of sauce by giving everything a good stir to mix. Allow the mixture to slowly simmer, stirring occasionally, for three to five minutes, or until the sauce achieves the desired thickness.

Finish and garnish: Take the pan off of the heat as soon as the sauce has thickened. Sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions may be added to the stir-fry to give it taste and color.
Serve: Serve your Stir-fried Sweet and Savory Pineapple Chicken with your preferred grain, quinoa, or steamed rice. Savor the exquisite combination of salty, sweet, and acidic tastes in this meal!
