This sweet and savory dish is prepared wok-style. You can substitute the chicken for pork if you like. Serve it over rice. I hope you enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 carrots, julienned

Directions
Step 1
Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat; cook the chicken and carrots in the hot oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the carrots are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger; cook another 1 minute. Add the shallots and bell pepper; cook another 1 minute.
Step 2
Whisk together 3 tablespoons of the reserved liquid from the canned pineapple chunks along with the pineapple chunks, the water, soy sauce, cornstarch, vinegar, and pepper flakes; stir into the chicken and vegetable mixture and bring to a boil, stirring until the sauce thickens.
