1

Assemble all the ingredients.
2

In a bowl, mix soy sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, paprika, and salt. Add the chicken strips and let them marinate while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
3

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 minutes.
4

Add the scallions and cook for 2 more minutes.
5

Remove the chicken from the marinade and add it to the wok; discard the marinade. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
6

In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice and cornstarch and mix together. Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
7

Pour in the pineapple juice mixture and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes.
