Ingredients

1/4 cup Progresso™ chicken broth (from 32-oz carton)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 small onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon grated gingerroot, if desired
1 1/2 cups fresh petite green beans
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 tablespoons water
1 cup cubed (1 inch) fresh pineapple
1/3 cup dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

In small bowl, mix sauce ingredients with wire whisk until well blended; set aside.
In wok or 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over high heat about 2 minutes. Add chicken, onion, garlic and gingerroot, breaking up clumps of chicken with wooden spoon; cook 1 minute without stirring. Stir-fry about 3 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center. Transfer chicken mixture to clean bowl.
To empty wok, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil; heat over high heat about 1 minute. Add green beans and bell pepper; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add water; cover and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Stir vegetables.
Return chicken mixture to wok. Mix sauce mixture again with wire whisk to recombine; pour into wok. Stir to coat mixture with sauce. Cook uncovered about 1 minute or until sauce is thickened. Stir in pineapple and peanuts.
