Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water until smooth. Set aside.

  5. Add the broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until crisp-tender.
