Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  • Prepare the chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the chicken pieces in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the coated chicken pieces until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • In the same skillet, add chopped bell peppers, onion, and garlic; sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  • In a bowl, mix together the rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
  • Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet, followed by the sauce mixture; stir well.
  • In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water; add to the skillet to thicken the sauce.
  • Return the fried chicken to the skillet, coating it well with the sauce.
  • Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve hot over rice or noodles.
