How to cook deliciously - Pineapple Chicken

1. Stage

Using a meat mallet, flatten the chicken to a 1/4-inch thickness. Place the flour in a large shallow dish. Add each piece of chicken one at a time, and turn to coat. Shake off excess flour.

2. Stage

In a large skillet, brown the chicken over medium heat in oil until juices run clear, three to five minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it on a plate or dish. Keep the chicken warm.

3. Stage

Drain the pineapple, reserving a 1/4 of juice, and set the fruit aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and reserved pineapple juice until smooth. With the skillet over medium heat, gradually pour the pineapple juice mixture into the pot. Stir in the honey, teriyaki sauce and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cook, stirring continually, until the sauce is thickened, about 30 seconds. Editor's Tip: Save the remaining pineapple juice for another use, like adding to this pineapple smoothie or to other stir-fries.

4. Stage

Add the pineapple chunks and chicken to the skillet and heat through. Serve with rice. If desired, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
