If you’re craving something truly special — tender chicken, juicy fruit, and a flavorful sweet-and-sour sauce — this dish is for you! The combination of pineapple and lychees creates a perfect harmony of flavors: fruity sweetness balanced by a gentle tang, enriched with the aroma of soy sauce and fresh vegetables. It’s quick to prepare, full of color, and brings a touch of Asian inspiration straight to your kitchen.

Preparation:

1. Marinating the chicken:
   Cut the chicken breast into thin strips. Place in a bowl, add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Frying:
   Heat oil in a large pan or wok. Add the onion sliced into thin strips and fry until it becomes translucent. Then add the chicken and cook until lightly browned.

3. Preparing the vegetables and fruit:
   Drain the pineapple and lychees, reserving the syrup. Cut the peppers into large pieces and slice the celery thinly.

4. Making the sauce:
   Mix 250 ml of the reserved syrup with potato starch and pour it into the pan with chicken. Add the peppers, celery, ketchup, chopped pineapple, and halved lychees. Stir gently and cook for about 5 minutes — the vegetables should remain slightly crisp.

5. Seasoning:
   Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more of the fruit syrup.

Serving suggestion:
Serve immediately — best with jasmine rice or rice noodles.
This dish is bursting with color, aroma, and exotic sweetness. Each bite combines tender meat, tropical fruit, and tangy sauce — a delightful journey to the flavors of Asia. 🌿🥢
