Ingredients
Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 lb Boneless Chicken Thighs, cubed
- 1 Red Onion, diced
- 15 oz Can Baby Corn
- 1 Orange Pepper, sliced
- 1 Yellow Pepper, sliced
- 1 Red Pepper, sliced
Fruit
- 1 Pineapple
Sauce
- 19 oz Sweet & Tangy Sauce
Other
- Nonstick Spray for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the Pineapple Boats: Slice the pineapple in half lengthwise. Carefully carve out the interior of each half to create two hollow pineapple boats, reserving the pineapple flesh for the stir fry.
- Cube the Pineapple: Cut the removed pineapple flesh into bite-sized cubes to use later in the stir fry mixture.
- Preheat the Blackstone Griddle: Turn the Blackstone to medium heat and allow it to properly warm up for cooking.
- Prepare the Cooking Surface: Spray the Blackstone surface evenly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and promote even caramelization.
- Add Ingredients to the Griddle: Place the cubed chicken, sliced peppers, diced red onion, baby corn, pineapple cubes, and the empty pineapple boats directly onto the Blackstone surface.
- Cook and Stir: Stir and turn the chicken and veggies frequently as they cook. Continue until the chicken is fully cooked through and the vegetables and pineapple are nicely caramelized and browned.
- Add the Sauce: Drizzle the sweet and tangy sauce over the cooking ingredients. Continue stirring and turning to ensure everything is evenly coated and heated through.
- Serve: Spoon the cooked chicken and vegetable stir fry into the prepared pineapple boats. Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors presented in a fun, edible container.
Notes
- You can substitute the sweet & tangy sauce with your favorite stir fry sauce if preferred.
- Ensure the chicken thighs are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- If a Blackstone griddle is not available, a large cast-iron skillet or flat top griddle can be used on stovetop or outdoor grill.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding a splash of soy sauce or chili flakes to the sauce for a bit of heat.
- Nonstick spray can be replaced with a small amount of cooking oil if preferred.
