Description

Ingredients

• 2 medium pieces boneless, skinless, chicken breasts (about 2/3 lb) cut into strips or chunks
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup pineapple chunks
• 4-5 medium zucchinis, cut into noodles using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler
• Sauce
• 1/3 cup water (plus more if too watery)
• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce (gluten free tamari or coconut aminos for a paleo version)
• 4 tablespoons honey
• 4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch (or use arrowroot or tapioca starch for a paleo version)
• Salt, black pepper and red chili flakes to taste, optional
• Optional garnish
• Green onions, sliced thinly
• Sesame Seeds

Directions

• In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the sauce.
• In a large bowl, combine chicken with salt, pepper and drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of sauce over the chicken. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet / saute pan on medium. Add chicken and cook until lightly brown, about 1-2 minutes. Add in the pineapple chunks and cook for another 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Pour in the sauce and turn the heat to high. Allow sauce to bubble and thicken while stirring - about 1-2 minutes - add more water a little at a time if sauce is too thick. Season to taste with salt, black pepper and/or red chili flakes.
• *If cooking the zucchini noodles, add into pan and use tongs to toss and coat with sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes until zucchini is just tender but still firm. Be careful not to overcook.
• Remove from heat and drizzle extra sauce in pan over chicken and serve immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
