- Warm the sauce packet in hot water while the chicken cooks.
- While the chicken is cooking, slice or dice the pineapple, peppers, and onion.
- In a sauté pan or skillet, drizzle 1 tbsp of olive oil or spray the pan with oil. Add the veggies to the pan, and cook until tender.

Notes
- Frozen stir-fry veggies from Trader Joe’s also work as an easy swap. Every few weeks, I buy this orange chicken, rice, and frozen stir-fry veggies from Trader Joe's. I keep them in the freezer until I need them, so I always have a quick and easy meal on hand.
- For extra spice, add red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
- Leftovers reheat well for lunch the next day.
- This is a great meal prep recipe or recipe for one with leftovers!
