- 1 cup flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup almond milk
2 lbs. boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 cup + 1 tsp. vegetable oil
1 red pepper, diced
1 can pineapple chunks
1/2-1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
White rice, cooked

2. In an another bowl, add 1 cup almond milk.
3. Dice the chicken into 1 inch pieces. Once diced, dip the chicken into the flour mixture, then milk, and then back into the flour mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken.
4. Heat skillet with vegetable oil. Use enough vegetable oil so that there is about 1 inch depth.
