Almond Chicken Stir-Fry

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1 tablespoon canola oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/3 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
Hot cooked rice, optional

In a large nonstick skillet or wok, stir-fry chicken and almonds in hot oil for 2
minutes. Add vegetables. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook for 4 minutes or
until vegetables are tender and chicken is no longer pink. In a small bowl,
combine the cornstarch, brown sugar and ginger. Stir in pineapple juice and soy
sauce until smooth. Stir into chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for
2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with rice if desired.
