Pineapple Chicken and Sausage

Traditional sweet and sour sauce is the thing that brings the chicken, sausage, veggies and aromatic pineapple together in this fabulous fakeout takeout!

Ingredients:

2 sausages (1/4 lb), I used Toulouse here

2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (1/2 lb)

1 1/2 cups fresh pineapple, cut in chunks

1 small onion, sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced 1/2-3/4" thick

1/2 red bell pepper, diced

1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced

5 mushrooms, halved or thick sliced

2 tsps sesame oil, divided

2 tsps brown sugar

2 tsps lime juice

unsweetened shredded coconut and black sesame seeds to garnish

 

Sweet and sour sauce:

2/3 cup pineapple (or orange) juice

2 tbsps soya sauce

2 tbsps apple cider vinegar

2 tbsps honey

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tbsp cornstarch

 

Begin by cutting the sausages into 1" slices and the chicken into bite size pieces. Toss the meat with 1 tsp sesame oil, brown sugar and lime juice. Line a baking sheet with foil. Spread the meat out on the pan in a single layer and cook in a 375°F oven for 5 minutes.

Prepare the sweet and sour sauce. Whisk the cornstarch, juice and apple cider vinegar together in a pot then add the soya sauce, honey and tomato paste. Cook over medium high heat to thicken, about 3-5 minute. So just about when the meat timer is up the sauce should be ready.

Toss the pineapple, onion, bell peppers, celery and mushrooms with 1 tsp sesame oil and add to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and toss to coat. Pop back into the oven for 15 minutes.

I made my Chili Oil Rice but you can serve it with any rice you like. Here's the link to mine:
