1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 tablespoon sesame oil

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon ginger (minced)

1 red bell pepper (chopped)

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper.

Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and stir fry until browned on all sides.

In the same skillet, add garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant. Add the bell pepper and cook for another two minutes.

Cover the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.

Remove the pineapple chicken from the heat. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds and serve over rice.
