How to Make Chicken with Bell Peppers and Pineapple

Today this ""Bell Pepper Pineapple Chicken Pieces”", is one dish I really like! For the chicken pieces in this dish, you can choose Chicken Breast or Chicken Thigh. Personally, I prefer using thigh meat as it has a better texture when cooked! Fresh and tender chicken pieces, sweet and sour pineapple, crisp bell peppers, make up such a ""Visual Appeal”"dish that is light and refreshing. Although it looks clean and tidy, this dish is actually a ""Rice Destroyer”. Leave some sauce when cooking, then mix with the rice for a truly delightful taste!！I think using it as toppings on a pizza will be fantastic next time!Pepper Pineapple Chicken Pieces Ingredients & Tools Main ingredients: Pineapple (150g net weight) Chicken Thigh Meat (200g) Bell Pepper (half) Scallion (a small piece)I think we can use it for next time.(a small piece) Seasonings: Cooking wine (5ml), Soy sauce (8ml), Salt ( ), Cornstarch ( ), Special grade extra virgin olive oil ( )

Throughout the entire stir-fry process, be quick to avoid overcooking the pineapple which can release too much water, affecting the texture;5. If you prefer a richer taste, you can thicken the sauce at the end.  I like a light and refreshing flavor so I skipped it this time.  5.
