STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Start by whisking the flour, garlic powder and healing ginger in a large bowl, then add in your chopped chicken. Make sure to coat each piece well with seasoning; this will give the chicken a nice crunch later.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet and then add in your chicken, making sure not to overcrowd the pieces in the pan. Stir occasionally so the pieces don’t stick. When the chicken is no longer pink, season with salt and pepper, and let it hang out on a plate. You’ll be back for it!
In the same skillet (you might need another dash of coconut oil here), add your chopped broccoli and pepper. I like using a mix of bell peppers to add some extra color, but feel free to use whatever’s on hand.
After a few minutes, add the pineapple chunks and juice to the mix. Throw in the broth, coconut sugar, vinegar and red pepper flakes, too. It’s time to turn up the heat! This will help thicken up the sauce. When it begins reducing, stir in the arrowroot mixture and then add the chicken back to the skillet. Let it simmer in the sauce for another five minutes, soaking up all the tasty flavors.
Serve it up! We recommend serving this dish atop brown rice or nutritious quinoa. Don’t forget to toss out the takeout menus!
