The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
I love how the sauce thickens a bit. It coats all of the chicken and veggies in the skillet, and you’re going to want to slurp up that yummy sauce!
Feel free to change things up a bit with this recipe. Add in chopped broccoli, cashews, green onion, snow peas– whatever you desire. Enjoy!

Pineapple Ginger Chicken Stir Fry
Ingredients
- One 20-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained (reserve the juice)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil, divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- ¾ cup thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- minced fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- hot cooked rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, honey and cornstarch until smooth.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat; saute the chicken until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, saute the bell pepper, onion, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in the remaining oil until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Give the cornstarch mixture another stir, and then add it to the pan along with the chicken and pineapple chunks. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Serve over rice (if desired) and sprinkle with fresh cilantro (if desired).
