Everyone in my family enjoys this chicken pineapple stir fry. I started making this dish when I first received bok choy in my farm share and I didn’t know what else to do with it.

Over the years, I’ve concealed several different leafy greens in this dish. Any recipe that gets my children to happily eat a healthy green vegetable is a success in my book.

Chicken Pineapple Stir Fry Tips

You can prepare the ingredients ahead of time for a busy night. Then when it’s time for dinner, just load up your wok and the meal will be ready in no time.

The sauce is mild, so I recommend adding additional soy sauce, hot chili sauce, or fresh ginger if you’re looking for a stronger flavor. This recipe is a great starting point that can be adapted to your tastes.

Try my shrimp and broccoli stir fry for another easy, delicious dinner recipe.

  • 2 tbs soy sauce
  • 1 tbs honey

Ingredients for the stir fry

  • 1 tbs peanut oil
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces

  • Move the chicken to the edges of the wok and pour the sauce into the middle of the wok. Warm up the sauce and let it thicken a bit, and then add the vegetable mixture and the pineapples. Stir together with the chicken, and serve over brown rice or rice noodles. Serve with additional soy sauce or hot chili sauce if desired.

      Thanks, Allie! I hope he likes it. He’ll probably have some add-in ideas for the sauce that I don’t know about. 🙂

    With some pineapple in the fridge needing to be used up, I was really happy to stumble across this tonight—and it was delicious! I did throw in sweet pepper and subbed spinach (what I had) for the bok choy and cauliflower for the broccoli. Very, very good! Thanks!

      Thanks for letting me know, Jen. I’m glad you liked it! I’ll have to try it with cauliflower next time – that sounds really good.
