- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 red bell pepper chopped into 1 inch pieces
- 1 ½ cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup pineapple chunks fresh or canned
- 3 green onions cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 4 cups cooked rice

Teriyaki Sauce
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup pineapple juice from the can if using canned pineapple
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoon fresh ginger minced

Instructions
- In a large measuring cup or small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes). Set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium high heat. Season the chicken lightly with salt and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add red pepper, broccoli, pineapple chunks, and green onions, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Remove to the plate with the chicken.
- Return the pan to medium-low heat and pour in the sauce mixture prepared in step 1. Bring to a bubble.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water and add the mixture to the pan, whisking constantly, until it has thickened to a syrupy consistency.
- Add the chicken, pineapple and vegetables back to the pan and stir to combine with the sauce and warm.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions if desired and serve over rice.
