Ingredients
12 oz. raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1/8 tsp. each salt and black pepper

1 1/2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup chopped red bell pepper

1 cup chopped celery

16 oz. pineapple chunks packed in juice (not drained)

1 tbsp. cornstarch

3 tbsp. seasoned rice vinegar

1 tbsp. ketchup

1 tbsp. reduced-sodium/lite soy sauce

1/2 tsp. chopped garlic

1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes

1/8 tsp. ground ginger

2 cups bean sprouts

Directions
Bring a wok (or large skillet) sprayed with nonstick spray 
to medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until no longer pink, about 
3 minutes.

Add broccoli, bell pepper, celery, and 2 tbsp. water. Cover and cook until veggies are tender, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, to make the sauce, drain the juice from the canned pineapple into a small nonstick pot. Add cornstarch and stir to dissolve. Add vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic, red pepper flakes, and ginger. Mix thoroughly. Bring to medium-high heat. Cook and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes.

Add pineapple chunks, bean sprouts, and sauce to the wok. Cook and stir until sprouts have softened and chicken is fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Enjoy!
