Chicken & Pineapple Stir Fry

You have the option to serve with 100g of cooked rice (not included in the nutritionals) per person which will add about 80 calories to the count.

Another option if you like a thicker sauce is to add at the last minute 2 tsp. cornflour mixed in with ¼ cup cold water and add to the stir fry. This will thicken the sauce and give it a lovely sheen.
