Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts Cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce Ensure it’s Halal-certified
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant and the onions become translucent.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Sauté until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Toss in the sliced bell pepper and pineapple chunks. Stir to combine.
  4. Pour the soy sauce over the chicken mixture and allow everything to cook together for an additional 3-4 minutes, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  5. Plate your delicious pineapple chicken and garnish with chopped green onions. Enjoy it over rice or noodles if desired!

Notes

For substitutions, you can swap out chicken for tofu or shrimp. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan to achieve the perfect golden color. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
