| 1 | Water |
| 3 | Chicken bouillon |
| 1 | Cornstarch |

Instructions:

Preparation: Begin by cutting the chicken breast, green pepper, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Slice the carrots into 1/4 inch disks, and slice the mushrooms. Grate or mince the ginger.

Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the reserved pineapple juice, water, chicken bouillon, and soy sauce. Heat this mixture to a boil either on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Cornstarch Mixture: In a small container, mix the white vinegar and cornstarch together. Set aside for later use.

Saute Chicken: While waiting for the sauce to boil, sauté the onions and ginger for about a minute. Then, add the chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink.
-
Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the remaining vegetables, including the pineapple chunks. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
-
Thicken Sauce: When the pineapple juice mixture comes to a boil, add the vinegar-cornstarch mixture to it. Heat and stir occasionally until the sauce thickens.
-
Combine Ingredients: Add the thickened pineapple juice mixture to the vegetables and chicken. Mix thoroughly to coat all the ingredients with the flavorful sauce.
-
Serve: Serve the Chicken and Pineapple Stir Fry plain or over a bed of rice for a satisfying meal.
Notes:
- You can customize this recipe by adding or substituting other vegetables such as broccoli, snow peas, or bean sprouts according to your preference.
- If using unsweetened pineapple, consider adding 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the pineapple-bouillon mixture for a touch of sweetness.
