Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 can 8 ounces pineapple chunks, drained & juices reserved
  • 6 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 3-4 teaspoons vegetable oil divided

  • 1 head broccoli florets

Instructions
 

  • Start cooking your rice so it will be ready
  • Combine cornstarch and water in a medium sized bowl and stir to dissolve. Add the reserved pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, and vinegar to the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Heat 2-3 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic. Stir-fry until the chicken is cooked and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover to keep warm.
  • Add the remaining oil to the pan. Add the broccoli, bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry over medium-high heat until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the broccoli is bright green. Return the chicken to the pan. Add the pineapple chunks and sauce mixture. Bring to a slow boil and cook until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve over the cooked rice or mix in with the stir fry.
