01
Step 1
In a large resealable bag, mix together the coconut aminos, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chopped chives, salt, and white pepper. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade and let them sit at room temperature while you get the veggies ready.

Step 2
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Once it’s hot and shimmering, toss in the sliced onion along with the red and green bell peppers. Stir-fry everything for a couple of minutes until the veggies are just tender but still have a bit of crunch. Take them out and set aside.

Step 3
Now, add the chicken along with the marinade to the same pan. Cook it until the chicken turns white all the way through and the juices run clear, which should take about 5 minutes. Then, throw the cooked veggies and the drained pineapple chunks back into the skillet and stir everything together for another 3 minutes.
