We all love Chinese food, but the dishes from your favorite place are sometimes fried and full of sugar and can be tough to fit into your macros. This Pineapple Chicken Stir-Fry is reminiscent of sweet and sour chicken but has none of the greases and breading, so it won't leave you feeling weighed down or lethargic.

With simple ingredients and just 20 minutes, you can enjoy awesome Chinese food at home without having to pay for delivery! Serve it with white or brown rice, or caulirice, and you'll satisfy your cravings while staying on track towards your goals.
