Method

 
Cut chicken into small chunks and season.

Heat a little oil in a pan and fry chicken until browned and just cooked. Remove and set aside.

Lightly fry onion, ginger, pineapple and green pepper. Vegetables should still be crunchy.

Add remaining ingredients, mix and simmer until sauce thickens. Season. Toss chicken in sauce to reheat.
   
Serve with steamed rice.

More good ideas:
- Add more vegetables to boost your 5-a-Day
- Use beef, pork or prawns in place of chicken
