Stir-fry for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the bell peppers. Season with another small pinch of salt and stir-fry for 5 to 10 seconds. Add the chicken back to the skillet. Add the sweet’n sour sauce. Keep stir-frying on low until the chicken is completely cooked through about 3-4 minutes. Add the pineapple, stir and serve hot! Enjoy!
