1 Pineapple Chicken
Though we love pineapple fried rice and these Hawaiian chicken skewers, this pineapple chicken stir fry may just take the crown. It has the tangy bite from the pineapple, a solid crunch from cashews and a little kick of heat from jalapeo. What's not to love?! Serve it over perfectly cooked rice alongside a tender green like bok choy and you'll have a totally delicious and easy meal on the table in under 30 minutes. If you tried your hand at making this salty-sweet stir fry, let us know how it came out in the comments below!
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp.
vegetable oil
1 lb.
boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1" pieces
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
red bell pepper, chopped
3/4 c.
canned pineapple juice
1/4 c.
low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 c.
brown sugar
2 tbsp.
hoisin sauce
cloves garlic, minced
1/2
jalapeo, minced (seeded if desired)
2 tsp.
cornstarch
1 c.
pineapple chunks
1/4 c.
cashews
Sliced green onions, for serving
Cooked white rice, for serving
Lime wedges, for serving
DIRECTIONS
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper and cook, turning occasionally, until golden, 5 minutes. Stir in bell pepper and cook until just tender, 3 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, garlic, and jalapeo and bring to a simmer. Make a slurry: In a small bowl whisk together 2 tsp. water and cornstarch until combined, then whisk into saucepan. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour sauce over chicken and let simmer 3 minutes. Stir in pineapple and cashews.
- Garnish with green onions and serve with rice and lime.
2 Chicken Chow Mein
Chow mein is one our go-to for all types of meals, not just for its incredible flavor but its major customizability. We love this variation with tender, flavorful chicken but you can add whatever you like from kimchi to bacon to jalapeos! Not only that but they only take around 30 minutes to make, making it perfect for any quick meal.
Don't overcook your noodles.
Because we're boiling our noodles first and then tossing them into a heated skillet again to complete the dish, you really want to make sure you're draining those noodles right when they're almost fully cooked. Whether you go with fresh flour noodles or dry spaghetti, keep them al dente! The carryover heat from the boiling water and the return to the skillet will continue to cook the noodles even after they've been drained.
Switch up your protein.
We love using chicken thigh meat for stir-fries because they stay tender and juicy throughout the cooking process. If you're more of a white-meat lover, feel free to use chicken breastor if you want to substitute in shrimp, ground pork, sliced steak, or even mushrooms and tofu for a vegetarian option, they would all work equally well. If you're opting to use beef, give it a good marinade like in this beef and broccoli recipe for an even more flavorful result!
Veg it up.
Not a fan of cabbage? You can substitute in up to 2 cups of any other vegetable you'd like! Bell peppers, broccoli, celery, bean sprouts, green beans would all work nicely here.
Adjust your spice level.
We love the kick this recipe gets from fresh ginger, but if you're not a fan, skip it. On the other hand, if you love spice, sprinkle in some crushed chili flakes or mince up a fresh chili pepper for extra heat (you daredevil, you).
If you've made this recipe, we'd love to hear from you! Leave us a note and a rating down below to let us know how you liked it.

3 Dan Dan Noodles
Originating from Chinese Sichuan cooking, Dandan noodles were named for the carrying pole (aka dan dan) that street vendors used to carry baskets of noodles and sauce. While sometimes served as a soup in China, American versions are usually more saucy than soupy, and often include sesame paste, peanut butter, or tahini, like the recipe below. Can't find Chinese black vinegar in your local grocery store? No problem! Instead, use a mixture of 3 tbsp. water, 1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar, and 1 tbsp. rice wine vinegar. Whisk those three ingredients together, then measure out the amount called for in the recipe below.
