Total time: 20 minutes
Description
This 20-minute meal delivers a faster, lighter and more flavorful takeout alternative. It's chock-full of fresh, crispy veggies and juicy chicken pieces, and it reheats well for meal-prep lunches. If you like heat, sub Sriracha for some of the ketchup.
Directions
- Whisk ketchup, pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Wipe the pan clean; return to high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add broccoli and bell pepper; cook until charred, about 5 minutes. Add scallions and cook for 1 minute. Return the chicken to the pan and add the ketchup mixture. Cook until bubbly and the sauce coats the chicken. Serve in shallow bowls over rice.
