No deep frying necessary!
I get you, deep frying when you actually just want it for that pineapple sauce is a pain.
Here you have all the tangy and sweet that a pineapple sauce can offer, and you made it in 20 minutes!

- 2 large chicken breasts, cubed 
- 2 tbsp flour 
- 1/4 cup oil 
- 1 onion, diced 
- 1 pepper, cubed 
- 1 can (398ml) of pineapple chunks (with juice) 
- 3 garlic cloves, minced 
- 2 cubes frozen ginger (2 tsp fresh minced) 
- 2/3 cup sweet chili sauce (divided) 
- 1 tbsp paprika 
- 1 1/2 tsp salt 
- 1 tbsp cornstarch, diluted in 1/2 cup water 
- Sesame seeds, to top 
- Greens (like herbs or green onions), to top 
DIRECTIONS:
- Start by tossing your chicken cubes in flour. Simultaneously, heat a stainless steel skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add oil. 
- Brown your chicken on both sides. Remove from pan and set aside. 
- Add onion to the pan. Don’t let them brown. Once a little soft, add peppers and pineapple can. Reduce heat to low. 
- Add garlic, ginger, 1/3 cup sweet chili sauce, paprika and salt. Let it cook for 5 minutes. 
- Return chicken to pan. Mix everything together, add cornstarch in water. Mix, cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes. 
- Remove from heat. Add remaining 1/3 sweet chili sauce. Top with sesame seeds and the greens of your choice!
