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.

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.

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!
