Notes
For more flavor, let the chicken marinate for longer if you have time. Adjust the amount of pineapple and bell pepper based on your taste. You can add other veggies like broccoli or carrots for more color and nutrition. To store leftovers, let the dish cool down first. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. It will be good for up to three days. To reheat, you can use the microwave or air fryer until it’s warm.
