Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ large yellow onion, diced
- 3-4 chicken breasts, diced into chunks
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Frank’s RedHot sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp garlic, minced
- ½ cup canned diced pineapple, drained
- Scallions, for topping
- Sesame seeds, for topping
Instructions
- Heat the Oil and Sauté Onion: Warm the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced yellow onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it begins to soften and become translucent.
- Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is mostly cooked through and lightly browned on the outside.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. This will infuse the dish with fresh aromatic flavor.
- Combine Sauce Ingredients: Pour in the rice vinegar, soy sauce, Frank’s RedHot sauce, and brown sugar. Stir well to fully coat the chicken pieces in the flavorful sauce mixture.
- Add Pineapple and Simmer: Stir in the drained diced pineapple. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly while ensuring the chicken is cooked completely and tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle chopped scallions and sesame seeds on top for added color, texture, and flavor enhancement.
Notes
- Use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for even cooking and tender bites.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer or add a cornstarch slurry to thicken.
- Serve over white rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
