Ingredients

1 ½ pounds chicken breasts skinless, cubed
1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks juice reserved
3 large bell peppers any colors, cut into chunks
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup ketchup
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
1 tablespoon ginger fresh, minced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons canola oil
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until it's browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Then, set it aside.
Sauté the chunks of bell peppers in the same pan until they begin to soften.
While the peppers are cooking, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, red pepper flakes, minced ginger, and minced garlic in a separate bowl. Pour this mixture into the pan with the bell peppers.
Add the drained pineapple chunks to the pan.
In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with the reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Add this mixture to the pan.
Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir to combine all the ingredients.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Serve the Hawaiian chicken over cooked rice.
