Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 6 skinless chicken thighs
• 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained
• 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
• 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings
• 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch rings
• 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion rings and cook and stir for 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, pineapple juice, and lemon juice carefully. Bring to a boil.

Step 2

Mix soy sauce with cornstarch and dry mustard in a bowl. Add to the sauce in the skillet, stirring until clear and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3

Place chicken thighs in the sauce. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until chicken juices run clear, 25 to 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 4

Add pineapple chunks and bell pepper to chicken; simmer until tender, about 5 minutes more.
