  • 7. *I sometimes use True Lemon crystals when I'm out of fresh lemon, lime, orange, or grapefruit juice. If you use these crystals, you DEFINITELY need to dilute with 1 1/2 cups of water; and, even if you use fresh juice, you can dilute some, according to your taste.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple, vegetables, and chicken will give your dish the best flavor.
  • Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, pineapple juice, and garlic will help to tenderize and flavor it.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end of cooking: Adding the vegetables towards the end of cooking will help to keep them crisp and colorful.
