Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes while flipping the pieces over so both sides get cooked. Place the coated chicken pieces into the skillet with the hot oil. In a large skillet or wok heat 1 Tbsp of oil on medium high to high heat. In a small mixing bowl whisk together the white granulated sugar sweetener, brown sugar sweetener, apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar, no sugar added ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic. 1 small yellow or white onion cut into 1-inch pieces. 1 yellow or orange pepper cut into 1-inch pieces. 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces. 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces. 1/2 cup canned or fresh pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained. 1/2 cup zero point white granulated sugar sweetener. 1 and 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. The steam will heat the bell peppers/onion-making them until crispy, yet tender. Turn off the Instant Pot and cover with a lid.

Yellow or white onion: cut into 1-inch pieces. Yellow or orange pepper: cut into 1-inch pieces. Green bell pepper: cut into 1-inch pieces. Red bell pepper: cut into 1-inch pieces. Canned or fresh pineapple chunks or tidbits: drained. Garlic: fresh is best but you could also use 1 Tbsp of minced jarred garlic. If you wanted you could use a brown sugar substitute, if you preferred. It thickens the sauce a bit and takes the sweetness to a whole new level. Light brown sugar: I like to use just 1 Tbsp of regular brown sugar for the sauce. Rice vinegar: you could use apple cider vinegar as a substitute.
