Ingredients
½ cup pineapple juice
⅓ cup low sodium soy sauce
⅓ cup low sodium chicken stock
⅓ cup hoisin sauce
½ cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup diced pineapple
½ cup roasted, salted cashews (optional)
Rice, for serving
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, chicken stock, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic and cornstarch. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1 cup and is the consistency of thick syrup. Set the sauce aside.
Add the olive oil to a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan and season it with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken, stirring, until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any liquids then add the sauce to the pan and stir until combined. Add the pineapple and cashews and cook, stirring, for an additional 1 minute.
Serve the chicken atop a bed of rice.
KELLY’S NOTE:
For a bit more flair to your presentation, serve the chicken and rice inside a hollowed out pineapple.
If you can't find chicken thighs, you can use 4 medium chicken breasts, however the meat won't be as tender.
