For the chicken, rinse the meat, pat dry and chop. Peel the pineapple, cut out the stalk and dice the fruit into cubes. Peel the onion and cut into wedges. Rinse the bell peppers, cut in half, trim and cut into pieces. Peel garlic and finely chop.
Brown chicken in hot oil. Add garlic, onion, bell peppers, pineapple and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes, then deglaze with a little broth.
