Ingredients:

  • 2 Chicken Breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)

  • 3 tbsp Cornstarch

  • Salt And Pepper (to taste)

  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil

  • 1 Red Bell Pepper (chopped into 1cm pieces)

  • 1 Green Bell Pepper (chopped into 1cm pieces)

  • ½ White Onion (chopped into 1cm pieces)

  • 1 cup Pineapple (chopped)

  • 1 Green Onions (sliced into thin rounds for garnish)

  • Sesame Seeds (for garnish)

  • 1 cup Sunwhite Medium Grain Rice

  • ⅓ cup Sugar

  • ⅓ cup Apple Cider Vinegar

  • ¼ cup Ketchup

  • 2 tbsp Soy Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Sesame Oil

  • 1 tbsp Light Brown Sugar

  • 3 clove Garlic (minced)

  • 2 tbsp Cold Water

  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch

Method

  • In a medium saucepan, add all of the ingredients for the sauce except for the water and cornstarch. Whisk together and bring to a boil.

  • In a small bowl, mix together the water and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Add to the pan, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. Your sauce should thicken as it simmers.

  • Remove it from the heat and set it aside while you make your chicken.

  • Add the chicken, cornstarch and salt and pepper to a bag and shake to coat.

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add the chicken. Cook over medium-high heat for about 7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

  • Add additional olive oil if the chicken begins to stick to the pan.

  • Add the chopped bell peppers and onion to the pan and stir to combine. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the veggies are just barely tender.

  • Add the pineapple chunks to the pan.

  • Pour the sauce into the pan. Stir to combine.

  • Bring the pan to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until heated through.

  • Serve over SunWhite rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Medium Grain

White medium grain rice is a round, tender and succulent grain, allowing it to lock in moisture when it is cooked. This rice is often used in dishes that require a bit more creaminess, like paella or risotto. It is also ideal in your favourite Middle Eastern, Korean and Spanish dishes.
