Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, etc.)

  • 1 cup pineapple chunks

  • 1/2 cup roasted cashews

  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Directions

  • In a large pan, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add a bit more oil if necessary. Toss in the mixed vegetables, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.
  • Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and stir to combine.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and honey. Add this sauce to the pan, stirring to evenly coat the vegetables and pineapple.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the pan and toss to combine. Allow the mixture to cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
  • If using, sprinkle the chili flakes over the stir-fry and toss in the roasted cashews.
  • Serve the stir-fry hot over a bed of steamed jasmine rice or noodles.
  • Enjoy this surprising twist on a classic stir-fry that will leave your tastebuds dancing with delight!

Notes

  • Feel free to substitute the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
  • You can customize the vegetables according to your preference or what you have on hand.
  • If you prefer a saucier stir-fry, simply double the soy sauce and honey.

Our “Who-Knew-You-Could-Do-That-With-Chicken?!” Stir-Fry pairs splendidly with a simple side of jasmine rice or noodles to soak up the delightful sauce. If you want to keep the Asian theme, steamed dumplings or spring rolls make a great appetizer. For a contrasting taste and texture, try it with a crisp, fresh side salad. Don’t forget a fruity dessert like mango sticky rice or lychee sorbet to round off this culinary adventure!
