Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Chinese-American
Ingredients: 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1/4 cup cornstarch; 1/2 tsp salt; 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1/2 tsp garlic powder; 2 tbsp vegetable oil; 1/2 cup pineapple juice; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 1/4 cup ketchup; 1/4 cup brown sugar; 1 tbsp minced garlic; 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar; 1 tsp red pepper flakes; 1 tbsp cornstarch; 2 tbsp water; 2 green onions, sliced

1

In a large bowl, toss the cut chicken pieces with 1/4 cup cornstarch, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

2

Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

3

Lower the heat to medium. In the same pan, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

4

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

5

Pour the cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the pan. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens.

6

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and stir until all the pieces are fully coated in the thickened sauce.

7

Garnish with sliced green onions and serve immediately, for example over rice with a side of vegetables.
