Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.25 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 cup pineapple chunks, well drained
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.5 cup pineapple juice
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1.5 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1.5 tbsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola)
  • 1.5 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2.5 tbsp cold water (for slurry)
  • 0.25 cup water (to loosen the sauce)
  • 0.25 cup scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds
  • 0.25 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, pineapple juice, light brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, toasted sesame oil, and black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, cooking until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken in the skillet.
  4. Stir in the well-drained pineapple chunks and allow the mixture to cook for another 3-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
  5. In a small bowl, create a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with cold water. Gradually stir this mixture into the skillet to thicken the sauce.
  6. Add additional water if needed to achieve the desired sauce consistency.
  7. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Optional: sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the sauce for about 30 minutes before cooking. Adjust sweetness or acidity based on your taste.
