A delicious dish featuring crispy chicken chunks, sweet pineapple, and vibrant peppers in a savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch chunks
- ½ cup arrowroot starch or cornstarch (65g)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar or regular white sugar (100g)
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar* (60ml)
- 2 tbsp Coconut Aminos, or gluten free soy sauce/tamari
- ¼ cup ketchup or Low FODMAP Ketchup (60g)
- ¼ cup chicken stock (60ml)
- 1 green pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (65g)
- 3 spring onions stalks, green part only for low FODMAP
Instructions
- Sauce Prep: Add coconut sugar, vinegar, coconut aminos, chicken stock, and ketchup to a medium sauce pan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat and leave until later.
- Coat Chicken: Add chicken pieces and beaten egg to a large ziplock bag. Seal and shake to coat chicken. Then add the arrowroot starch to the bag, shaking again to lightly coat all the chicken pieces.
- Fry Chicken: Add coconut oil to a large non-stick skillet. Add the coated chicken pieces. Fry over medium heat, a couple of minutes on each side until the coating begins to crisp.
- Add Veggies: Add pepper and pineapple chunks. Continue to sauté over medium heat until chicken is browned and cooked through.
- Add Sauce: Add the sauce to chicken and peppers. Cover and reduce the heat down to a simmer and allow the juices to soak into the chicken for a few minutes. Top with sliced green onions. Serve over rice and enjoy!
Notes
- This dish is great served over rice.
- Adjust the sauce ingredients to taste.
- For a low FODMAP version, replace regular soy sauce with Coconut Aminos or gluten-free tamari.
