Slice Red Pepper into cubes and the green chillies at an angle. Add them to the chicken and let it all cook until the vegetables soften a little.
Add the Aroy-D sweet chilli Sauce.
Cut slices of pineapple into quarters, so each slice gives you four pieces. And add the whole can worth of pineapple into the chicken dish.
If you'd like a little bit more gravy, dissolve the flour in 1 cup water, and stir leaving no lumps. Then add it to the chicken.
Lastly, if you'd like a little bit more spice, you can add a teaspoons of Sriracha hot sauce.
