Sticky Pineapple Chicken

This is what I made for dinner on Wednesday evening and my first time cooking with  hoisin sauce, which we bought at Kroger. 

The sauce for this was delicious and we could taste the pineapple in there. This will definitely be a keeper as I'll be making this again. 

Sticky Pineapple Chicken

Ingredients:

1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup low sodium chicken stock
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 cup diced pineapple
1/2 cup roasted, salted cashews (optional)
Rice, for serving

Directions:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, chicken stock, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, garlic and cornstarch. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until the mixture has reduced to about 1 cup and is the consistency of thick syrup. Set the sauce aside.


Add oil to a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat. 
Add the chicken to the pan and season it with salt and pepper, and onion powder. 
Cook the chicken, stirring, until it is no longer pink, about 10-15 minutes. Add the sauce to the pan and stir until combined. 
Add pineapple and cashews and cook for an additional minute.
Serve over a bed of rice.
