Ingredients for Audrey S Oriental Chicken

  • Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • Pineapple Chunks
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper

How to Make Audrey S Oriental Chicken

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/2 cup soy sauce until fully combined.
  3. Add 1 cup of drained crushed pineapple, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, and 1/2 cup chopped onion to the sauce. Set aside.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat.
  5. Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces) and stir-fry until cooked through and no longer pink (about 5-7 minutes).
  6. Pour the pineapple and vegetable mixture into the wok with the cooked chicken.
  7. Stir until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken evenly (about 1-2 minutes).
  8. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
