Ingredients

2 lb chicken breasts cut into cubes (896g)
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp dried ginger
½ tsp black pepper
2 cups red bell pepper chopped (I love any color besides green for a sweeter pepper 300g)
3 frozen garlic cubes or minced cloves
3 Tbsp. sweet chili sauce 45g
2 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce 30g
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 cups pineapple chopped (300g)
¼ cup green onions chopped (10g)

Instructions

Cube your chicken and season with salt, ginger, and pepper.
Heat a large cast iron or other heavy pan over high heat. Spray with a mist of oil spray, and let that get hot for a few seconds. Add chopped chicken in a single layer without crowding the pan (you might need to do this in two shifts). Cook for about two minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan. Repeat if needed to cook any more chicken.
Turn the pan down to medium-high heat and add another spritz of oil spray to the empty, hot pan. Add chopped bell peppers and garlic cubes or cloves. Toss and cook for 1 minute, then add the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Let it sizzle and deglaze the pan. Add pineapple and green onions and cook for another minute.
Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and turn off the heat. Stir everything together and top with additional green onions for garnish. Enjoy over rice, noodles, or your favorite low-carb option like cauliflower rice or spaghetti squash. We love to top with the toasted cashews or another nut!

Notes

GF/DF: Easy! Just make sure to use a gluten-free soy sauce.
