Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil divided
  • 3 celery ribs sliced
  • 2 green bell peppers diced
  • 1 onion chopped
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • ½ cup lemon juice
  • ½ cup crushed pineapple with syrup
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Combine flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Roll chicken in flour mixture to coat.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook and stir until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add celery, bell peppers, and onion; cook and stir until slightly tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk ketchup, lemon juice, pineapple with syrup, and brown sugar together in a bowl.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, pour in pineapple mixture, and bring to a boil. Cook and stir chicken and vegetables in the sauce until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
