A few pineapple chunksI use the tin of pineapple chunks in juice
For the Sweet and Sour Sauce:
100mlpineapple juicefrom the tin
2tablespoonstomato puree
1tablespoonrice vinegar
1tablespoonbrown sugar
1tablespoonsoy sauce
Instructions
First, I prepare the sweet and sour sauce by combining the pineapple juice, tomato puree, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a bowl. I mix it well and set it aside for later.
Next, I coat the diced chicken breast fillets with 3 tablespoons of cornflour until they are evenly coated. This helps to make the chicken crispy when cooked. I then heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and spray it with a little oil. Once the pan is hot, I add the chicken in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. I let it cook for about 2-3 minutes without stirring to let it brown nicely on one side, then I turn it over to cook the other side until it’s fully cooked.
Once the chicken is browned and cooked through, I transfer it to a plate and set it aside.
In the same frying pan, I add the pineapple chunks first and let them cook for a few minutes until they caramelize. Then, I toss in the diced onion and peppers and stir-fry them for a couple of minutes until they start to soften.
Next, I pour the sweet and sour sauce over the vegetables in the pan. As the sauce begins to thicken, I add the cooked chicken back into the pan and toss everything together until it’s well combined and heated through.
Notes
When cooking the chicken, be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this can prevent the chicken from browning properly. Also, watch the vegetables closely to avoid burning, especially when adding the sauce, as it can thicken quickly.
