Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, toss 1 lb chicken breast strips with 2 tbsp jerk seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3: Add the marinated chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 4: Stir in 1 cup pineapple chunks, 1 sliced red bell pepper, and 1 sliced green bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp and pineapple is heated through.

Step 6: Remove from heat, sprinkle 3 sliced scallions on top, and serve immediately.
