Ingredients

- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt to taste
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast,

Directions
Gather all ingredients
Combine soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, and
salt in a bowl. Add chicken strips and let marinate while preparing the
remaining ingredients.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a wok or large
skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
Add scallions and cook for 2 more minutes.
Remove chicken from marinade and add to the wok; discard marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
Combine pineapple juice and cornstarch in a bowl; mix
together. Add pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour in pineapple juice mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer
until sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes.
