Honey Pineapple Chicken Stirfry
From Hans

A great stir-fry without using peanut or sesame oil (My daughter is allergic).

Preptime: About 15 minutes
Cook Time: ~20 minutes


Preheat oven to 400° before you begin.

Ingredients: 

– 1 large can (20oz) Pineapple Chunks
– 2 Tbs vegitable oil
– 1 Tbs butter
– 1/3c Honey
– 1/4c Soy Sauce
– 4 Tbs Corn Starch divided
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger (maybe up to 1 tsp if you like ginger)
– 1/2 Tbs Paprika
– 1lb boneless chicken breast, cubed to 1/2-1″ cubes
– Whatever veggies you want. I use: Broccoli florets, Carrot matchsticks, Sliced Mushrooms, Onions (sliced in 1/4″ wedges), Baby Bok-choy, Yellow and Red Bell Pepper for color

Sauce Prep:
1 – Drain Pineapple Juice into a medium size bowl
2 – Add Honey, Soy Sauce, 2 Tbs Corn Starch, Ginger and Paprika
3 – Mix until smooth and set aside.

Chicken Stir-Fry:

– Cut up the chicken, toss it around with 2 Tbs corn starch coating all pieces.
– Oil your frying pan, heat it up with medium-high heat.
– Brown your chicken just to the point of ALMOST being done.
– While the chicken is browning, start steaming your broccoli.
– When the chicken is done, transfer it to a side bowl/dish and set aside.
– Using the same pan, add butter and saute the onions and mushrooms for 1 minute, I also may add a dash of salt.
– Add the rest of your veggies and minced garlic, stir until veggies are almost soft.
– Add your crispy steamed broccoli
– Add Sauce Mix and bring it to a little simmer. Mixing regularly.
– Add the Chicken back to the simmering dish along with the Pineapple.
– Allow the sauce to thicken up.

Serve:
Serve it up over rice or noodles. I use brown rice with the kids.
