Instructions

Combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
Chop the red bell pepper and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, season with garlic powder and pepper, then coat with cornstarch.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken in batches until browned (about 4 minutes per side).
If needed, add a splash of olive oil to the pan, then add pineapple and cook undisturbed for one minute.
Stir in the chopped vegetables and cook until tender-crisp (about 3 minutes).
Return cooked chicken to the skillet, stir in the sauce, and let it bubble until thickened (1-2 minutes). Serve immediately.
