Everyone in my little family loves this. We’re known for our jumbled dinner conversations about why this one’s become our table’s regular guest. My husband, the most reliable seafood snob, swears he’d give up his shrimp for this. And our kids? Trick them into eating bell peppers, check. It’s that good.

This Easy Delish Baking recipe really lives up to its name! The steps were simple to follow, and everything turned out tasty and golden. I did tweak the sugar a bit for my taste, but overall, it’s a solid go-to for a quick sweet treat.
How to Make It
Okay, buddy, grab your biggest pan! Sizzle some chicken until golden, but, hey, no chicken shoe leather here—well-seasoned and juicy is the name of the game. Toss in your colorful bell peppers, and let them shimmy around with some pineapple chunks. Now here’s where a simple sauce works its magic: a little soy sauce, a sneaky hint of ginger, and just a splash of sesame oil if you’re feeling fancy. Simmer it all and boom, dinner is served!
Ingredient Notes
– Chicken Breast: Don’t overthink it. Boneless, skinless, chunked up; keeps it juicy with a quick marinade.
– Bell Peppers: Use any color to keep things vibrant. Not a bell fan? Throw in some snow peas or broccoli.
– Pineapple Chunks: Fresh is best if you want to impress, but canned totally works if life’s been busy.
Recipe Steps
1. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
3. Add chicken to the pan and cook until golden brown.
4. Toss in sliced bell peppers and cook until crisp-tender.
5. Add pineapple chunks and drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.
6. Stir everything together and let it cook for a few minutes for flavors to mingle.
What to Serve It With
– Cauliflower rice for the health warriors
– Jasmine rice when you need that comforting carb hug
– A big green salad on the side, refreshing AF
Tips & Mistakes
– Don’t crowd the pan with chicken pieces if you want that nice golden brown.
– Fresh pineapple can be a diva – if not sweet enough, a dash of honey solves it.
Storage Tips
Honestly, this is best hot off the stove. But, the world doesn’t end with reheats. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you decide to have a cold bite straight out of the fridge, I’m not judging. It is oddly refreshing!
Variations and Substitutions
– No soy sauce? Try tamari or coconut aminos for a gluten-free journey.
– Chicken not your thing? Tofu or shrimp won’t disappoint.
– Low sugar? Yes, reduce by swapping with honey or leave it out completely.
