Pineapple Chicken with Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast
• 2 cups pineapple chunks
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut the 1.5 lb chicken breast into 1-inch pieces and season with the 0.5 tsp salt. Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

2. 2

   Add the chicken in a single layer and cook without stirring until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, about 4 more minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3. 3

   Add the 2 cups pineapple chunks to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and slightly golden, about 3 minutes.

4. 4

   Mince the 2 garlic cloves and add to the skillet with the pineapple. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp tomato paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 0.25 cup water. Pour the sauce into the skillet and bring to a simmer.

6. 6

   Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Cook until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken, about 2 minutes. Serve hot.

7. 7

   Optional: garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if you have them.
