We had a tough time trying to find the pineapple teriyaki sauce called for in this recipe... but it sounded so good, we just HAD to try it! What to do? Improvise! We had great success making our own by combining 1/3 traditional teriyaki sauce and 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice. Enjoy!

Tips:

Use fresh pineapple: Fresh pineapple gives the best flavor and texture to the dish. If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken should be cooked through but still tender and juicy. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the chicken and pineapple from sticking to the pan.
Serve immediately: Pineapple chicken bites are best served immediately after cooking. They can be reheated, but they will not be as crispy.

Conclusion:

Pineapple chicken bites are a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. They are also a great appetizer or party food. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
