Nutrition & ingredients

Ingredients

serves 4
  • 400 g chicken breast (chopped into bite-sized chunks – roughly 2cm / ¾inch cubes)
  • 3 tablespoons cornflour ((US - cornstarch))
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar ((or white wine vinegar, or rice wine vinegar))
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce ((I use dark, but light or all purpose works fine too. Use tamari if you need this to be gluten free.))
  • 3 cloves garlic (grated or crushed)
  • 1 cm fresh ginger (grated)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 425 g tin pineapple chunks in juice ((separate the juice and the chunks))

  • 1 large green pepper (chopped into bite-sized chunks – roughly 2cm x 2cm / ¾inch x ¾inch)
