INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - julienned
  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil
  • 1 medium green pepper, julienned
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 6 cups torn fresh spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomato halves

DIRECTIONS

  1. Drain pineapple, reserving 3 tablespoons juice in a small bowl; set pineapple aside. (Discard remaining juice or save for another use.) In a skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken in oil for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add green pepper; stir-fry for 2-4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, add brown sugar and cornstarch to pineapple juice; mix well. Stir in ketchup, vinegar and soy sauce until smooth; add to skillet and cook until thickened. On a large serving platter, arrange spinach, pineapple and tomatoes. Top with chicken and green pepper; serve immediately.
