Ingredients
| 1 cup | pineapple juice |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | chicken broth |
| 1/4 cup | soy sauce |
| 3 tbsp | brown sugar |
| 2 tbsp | cornstarch |
| 1 tbsp | oil |
| 1 lb | boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes |
| 2 cups | diced pineapple |
| 2 | red bell peppers, diced |
| 1/2 | red onion, diced |
| 2 | garlic cloves, minced |
| 1 tsp | grated fresh ginger |
| 2 | green onions, sliced |

Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Add the pineapple, red bell pepper, and red onion. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple and peppers begin to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook until they become fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the sauce into the skillet and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve immediately topped with the green onions and sesame seeds or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
