- Carefully wipe out the skillet clean. Add the remaining 1 Tablespoon of oil, bell pepper, onion, pineapple and garlic. Stir and cook until bell pepper and onion are slightly tender; about 5 minutes.
- Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with the bell peppers, onion and pineapple. Pour in the sweet Thai chili sauce and gently stir to combine everything. Cook another minute or until mixture is heated through. Serve immediately and enjoy!
