Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • ½ teaspoon dry mustard

  • 6 skinless chicken thighs

  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch rings

Directions

  1. Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion rings and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, pineapple juice, and lemon juice carefully. Bring to a boil.

  2. Mix soy sauce with cornstarch and dry mustard in a bowl. Add to the sauce in the skillet, stirring until clear and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

  3. Place chicken thighs in the sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until chicken juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. Add pineapple chunks and bell pepper to chicken; simmer until tender, about 5 minutes more.
