Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine all sauce ingredients and whisk to combine, then set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil, add the chicken, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add bell peppers to the same skillet and sauté over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes until crisp-tender. Add more olive oil if necessary.
Whisk the sauce again to redistribute the honey, then add it to the skillet with the peppers. Allow to simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to thicken.
Add the chicken back in along with the reserved pineapple chunks, stirring to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is warm.
Taste and add additional seasoning if needed before serving.
Serve immediately with rice, cauliflower rice, quinoa, or a grain of choice to soak up the sauce.

Notes

Ensure pineapple is packed in juice, not syrup.
Add more salt or pepper to taste while cooking.
Serve with a grain for the best experience.
