Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

  • 3 celery ribs, sliced

  • 2 green bell peppers, diced

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • ½ cup ketchup

  • ½ cup lemon juice

  • ½ cup crushed pineapple with syrup

  • cup packed brown sugar

Directions

  1. Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll chicken in flour mixture to coat.

  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add celery, bell peppers, and onion; cook and stir until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, whisk ketchup, lemon juice, pineapple with syrup, and brown sugar together in a bowl.

  5. Return chicken to the skillet, pour in pineapple mixture, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir chicken and vegetables in the sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
