This recipe is super simple but has a ton of flavor, part of that comes from letting the chicken marinate for a little while.
You’ll Need:
- 2 lbs Chicken Thighs cubed
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 Tbls Fresh Ginger grated
- 1/2 cup Coconut Aminos
- 2 Tbls Hot Sauce
- 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice
- 1/2 tsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tbls Avocado Oil or olive oil
- 1/2 Red Onion sliced
- 2 Jalapeños sliced
- 1 14.5 Can Pineapple Chunks drained
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Lime
- 2 Tbls Green Oinion
Instructions:
- Drain the pineapple reserving 1/2 cup of the juice
- Cube the chicken thighs and place in a large glass bowl.
- Then in a separate small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, pineapple juice (from the can), hot sauce, garlic, ginger and pepper flakes.
- Pour over the chicken and let it marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
- Once the chicken has marinated for about 15-30 minutes, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add in the onion and jalapeño. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant
- Then turn the heat up to medium/high and add in the chicken and the marinade into the pan.
- Bring the sauce to a boil and then let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through (10-15 minutes) .
- Stir occasionally. Add in the salt, pineapple and juice of half of a lime, cook for another 3-5 minutes and serve! Top with some sliced green onions, fresh jalapenos and lime wedges
