Half of the time spent on this delicious dish is prep time. You will need to cut up the chicken into small strips as well as the peppers and onions. If you like your stir fry more on the spicy side, you could add some red pepper flakes, a dash of cayenne pepper or a small spoonful of Asian red pepper paste.

End result

This stir fry turned out very nice, it had a sweet and zesty taste. The combination of red peppers and peas wasn’t masked by the sweet pineapples, which can be a little overbearing in some dishes.

This chicken stir fry a very pleasing dish to the eye as well. It’s a great recipe for beginner cooks! Unfortunately we were not able to find a bottle of Sake in our local grocery store to go with the Stir Fry so we opted to make a Cranberry Martini instead. Yum!
