Directions

  1. Combine coconut aminos, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chives, salt, and white pepper in a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add chicken to marinade and let sit at room temperature while you prepare the vegetables.

  2. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add oil to hot skillet and heat until it shimmers. Add onion and red and green bell peppers. Stir-fry until vegetables are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet and set aside.

  3. Add chicken and marinade to the same skillet and cook until chicken is white and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. Add vegetables and drained pineapple back to the skillet and stir-fry for 3 minutes.

  4. Pour in reserved pineapple juice and stir in arrowroot powder quickly until mixture boils and the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

  5. Serve over hot rice and garnish with chopped cashews.

Recipe Note

This is an Asian-style stir-fry recipe with no added sugar. Its sweetness comes from canned pineapple in its own juice. If you serve it with cauli-rice, it's grain-free, too!
