   • Cut the chicken breasts into halves or thirds to create manageable serving size pieces.
   • Coat each piece of chicken with cornstarch, ensuring an even coating.

2. Frying the Chicken:

   • Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over high heat.
   • Add the coated chicken pieces to the hot oil and cook until they turn golden brown.
   • Once cooked, transfer the chicken pieces to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Set aside.

3. Stir-Frying the Pineapple and Peppers:

   • Remove most of the oil from the frying pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons.
   • Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic and ginger to the remaining oil, stirring constantly for about a minute until fragrant.
   • Introduce the pineapple chunks and sliced bell peppers to the ginger and garlic mixture.
   • Stir-fry the ingredients over high heat for approximately 2 minutes until they are slightly softened and infused with flavor.

4. Preparing the Honey Sauce:

   • In a separate bowl, mix water with the remaining 2 teaspoons of cornstarch until well combined.
   • Add honey, instant chicken bouillon granules, and sesame oil to the cornstarch mixture, stirring until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

5. Baking the Dish:

   • Pour the honey sauce mixture into the frying pan with the pineapple and peppers.
   • Cook and stir the mixture over high heat until it comes to a boil and thickens to a glossy consistency.
   • Transfer the cooked chicken and pineapple-pepper mixture into a baking dish, arranging them evenly.
   • Pour the prepared honey sauce over the chicken and pineapple-pepper mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
   • Sprinkle chopped green onions over the top for a burst of freshness and color.

6. Final Touch:

   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked through.

7. Serving Suggestions:

   • Once done, remove the Honeyed Chicken and Pineapple from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
   • Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired, and serve hot alongside steamed rice or noodles for a complete meal.

Notes:

• Original Recipe Variation: The original recipe suggests using a whole chicken, cut up Chinese-style into serving pieces. However, using boneless, skinless chicken breasts provides convenience and a preference for the leaner meat option.
