Pineapple Chicken is an easy and at the same time delicious Indo-Chinese recipe for dinner.

You can also prepare this restaurant-style sweet and sour juicy pineapple chicken within 10 mins. and at the same time, it is healthy too.

Pineapple Chicken

Furthermore, I would like to give some suggestions for making sweet and sour pineapple chicken. Firstly, some restaurants add some food color, but I find it’s just as pretty made with 1 tsp of chili flakes for both spice and coloring. Instead of 1 tsp chili flakes, you can add 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper and 1/2 tsp of chili flakes in this recipe for some bright orange color. Secondly, you can also add green peppers, mushrooms baby corn or Chinese cabbage as you like.

Then stir-fry the bell peppers until they are half cooked, but still, they are crunchy. Also, don’t skip the onions. Because the onions and bell peppers play an important role in balancing the sweetness of the dish. Finally, serve this sweet and sour pineapple chicken either with white rice or with noodles. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does. So try it out and share your comments!
