Instructions

1

Make the Hawaiian Sauce

Whisk together soy sauce and honey in a small bowl until smooth. This simple two-ingredient sauce is the key to the sweet and savory Hawaiian flavor kids love.

2

Cook the Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil and cook the diced chicken for 7 to 8 minutes stirring occasionally until golden brown and cooked through completely.

3

Add Pineapple and Sauce

Add the pineapple chunks and corn to the pan followed by the honey soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the chicken.

Substitutions

Common mistakes

Using pineapple in heavy syrup instead of juice-packed which makes the sauce overly sweet
Cooking the sauce on too high heat which causes it to burn quickly due to the honey content
