Instructions

Cook the chicken. Heat up a medium skillet or wok with some oil. Add in the cubed chicken and toss and cook until it is golden brown. About 4-5 minutes, then remove it from the pan. Cook’s tip: The larger you cut the chicken the longer it will take to cook. If you cut it into smaller pieces then it will take less time, so watch it so it doesn’t over cook and get dry.
Cook the veggies. Add the veggies to the same pan you cooked the chicken in, season with a little salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Combine it all together. Add the chicken back to the pan with the veggies along with the chopped pineapple. Pour in the sauce and toss everything in the sauce. Let that all simmer for 1-2 minutes then top with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
Serve. Enjoy this stiry fry over some cauliflower rice or any kind of rice you like. You can serve it in bowls or in a pineapple (as shown in the post).

Notes

Use whole fresh pineapple. For the best pineapple flavor, fresh pineapple is best in this recipe. Plus you can use the pineapple shell to serve this stir fry in. If you are short on time, you can use canned pineapple chunks, just make sure to drain them before adding them to the stir fry.
Cut the chicken into even size pieces. It is important to cut the chicken into even size piece so it all cooks at the same time. I cut mine into 1-inch pieces. You can use chicken breast or skinless chicken thighs.
Use fresh or frozen veggies. If you are using fresh veggies then try to cut them into similar shapes and sizes. If you are using frozen veggies then let them sit out on the counter for a few minutes before cooking.
To store this recipe. Let it cool completely, transfer it to an airtight glass container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Easily reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
