4 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1 can (20 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided
2 medium carrots, julienned
1 medium green pepper, julienned
4 ounces spaghetti, cooked and drained
3 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/3 cup soy sauce

Directions

Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice (discarding remaining juice or save for another use); set pineapple aside.
In a large skillet, cook the chicken, garlic and ginger over medium heat in 2 tablespoons oil for 6 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the carrots, green pepper and pineapple. Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in spaghetti and onions.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, soy sauce, reserved pineapple juice and remaining oil until smooth. Gradually add to chicken mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Yield: 4 servings.
