Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings
1 cup chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon dry mustard
6 skinless chicken thighs
1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch rings

Steps:

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

Tips:

Choose boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for even cooking and easy slicing.
Slice the chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and quickly.
Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and color to the packets. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, carrots, zucchini, and broccoli.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Some good options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
Seal the packets tightly to prevent the juices from leaking out and steaming the chicken.
Cook the packets over medium heat to prevent the chicken from overcooking.
Let the packets rest for a few minutes before opening to allow the juices to redistribute.
