2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce

Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Cook until softened and fragrant.

Add Pineapple
