Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- ⅓ cup soy sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 4 to 5 tablespoons honey
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 8 to 10 boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ cup flour (or more as needed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 onion (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 red bell pepper (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup frozen edamame
- 1 cup pineapple (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 4 cups cooked rice
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice, garlic powder, and mirin. Set aside.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Coat evenly in flour.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook chicken in a single layer for about 5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Work in batches if needed.
- Remove chicken and set aside. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet and sauté onion and bell pepper for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Pour in the prepared sauce and simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Add frozen edamame and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add pineapple and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your liking. Return chicken to the skillet and toss to coat.
- Serve hot over cooked rice or with your preferred side.
Notes
- Use fresh pineapple for a brighter flavor if available.
- Adjust honey for desired sweetness.
- Chicken breast can be substituted for a leaner option.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
