Island-Inspired Sweet and Sour Chicken with Pineapple (Page 2 ) | April 5, 2025

Prepare the chicken: Add salt and pepper to the chicken to season it. In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. When the chicken is golden brown and well done, add it and simmer it for approximately five to seven minutes.a
Cook the Vegetables: Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet. Add the bell peppers, onions, and a dash of salt. Stir-fry the veggies for 3–4 minutes, or until they begin to take on some softness while retaining some crisp. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, and simmer for a further one to two minutes, or until fragrant.
Include the pineapple: Incorporate the pineapple chunks and let them warm through, enabling a tiny caramelisation that will bring out their inherent flavour.
Get the sauce ready: Stirring to ensure that the chicken and veggies are equally coated, pour the sweet and sour sauce into the pan. Stir the cornflour mixture in and simmer for a further two to three minutes, or until the sauce thickens and takes on a glossy appearance.
After everything has cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and garnish. For a low-carb alternative, serve your Island-Inspired Sweet and Sour Chicken with Pineapple over cauliflower rice or steamed rice. If you’d like, garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions and savour your tropical flavour!
