This boneless pineapple chicken recipie is just my creation of another quick and easy but tasty weeknight meal.
Boneless chicken is cut very small and lightly seasoned in a medium mixing bowl to marinade. When ready to cook, it is stir fried in a wok or non-stick skillet.
The Pineapple sauce ingredients are combined in a small bowl and added to the chicken where it is simmered together for a few minutes to create this delightful meal.
The sauce is slightly sweet and tangy with pineapple pieces, garlic, ginger, onions and red or green peppers to finish it off just right. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.
