Pineapple-Ginger Chicken Stir-Fry image

I found the original recipe on a can of pineapple slices in the 1980s. After making it for a number of years, I lightened up the ingredients and adapted it to a quick skillet meal. My family gave it a big thumbs-up, and we've enjoyed it this way ever since! -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
