Ingredients
  

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
  • 0.5 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 6 skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 small red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch rings

Method
 

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