Stir in pineapple (with juice), sugar, vinegar and chicken stock and bring to a simmer. simmer until sauce begins to reduce. stir in cornstarch mixture and bring to a simmer. stir in chicken and cook for 5 minutes. taste. don't be afraid to add more sugar or vinegar to taste, salt and pepper too.

My friend gave me this recipe. It is super tasty! Enjoy!
(If you don't care if it looks fancy, and you want to save a little money, then just use 2 green peppers instead of paying the extra money for a red pepper).

Just tried this tonight! It's really good, everyone loved it. Even I couldn't go wrong, however, the part where the sauce needed to reduce took more time than I thought so the rest of my food was ready too early. Thanks!
