  1. Pour all the ingredient for the marinade in a large freezer bag, mix well. Add the chopped bite size pieces of chicken. Let marinade for 3-4 hours in refrigerator. Peanut Sauce Add the coconut milk and cornstarch to small sauce pan. Using wisk blend well. Add the peanut butter and mix well. Doesn't take long before thick and warm enough to serve. 3-4 minutes. For the pineapple grill or broil the slices and serve with the chicken. Takes about 5 minutes. You can either grill this or broil. I broiled. Assemble skewers by adding the chicken about 6-8 pieces to each. (If using wooden skewers soak for 30 minutes prior) Grill on one side and then turn slightly. For broil, preheat oven. Line a baking sheet with cooking spray. Cook for 5 minutes and then turn, takes 10-15 minutes.

  1. Mix 1/4 cup cornstarch, salt, and pepper together in a gallon-sized bag. Add the chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake until the chicken is well coated.
  2. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken in batches, making sure not to crowd the pan, and cook about 2 minutes per side. The chicken might not brown, but the cornstarch coating will become crispy and dry. The chicken will not be completely cooked at this point, and that is OK. Transfer the chicken to a 6-quart slow cooker and repeat with any remaining chicken.
  3. Whisk the sugar, rice vinegar, soy sauce, cider vinegar, sesame oil, 1 Tbsp cornstarch, garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes together in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken, then scatter the dried chile peppers around the chicken.
  4. Cover and cook until chicken reaches 165F, 1 1/2 to 2 hours on the LOW setting or 45 minutes on the HIGH setting. Toss the cooked chicken with the sauce. Serve with rice. Enjoy!

Instructions
  1. I used Instant pot and put in all ingredients from olive oil to collard greens in instant pot and programmed for soup. Cook rice according to instruction on package. Serve stew on top of cooked rice. Garnish with cilantro, peanuts, and lime wedge. If you do not have a instant pot you can easily adapt this into a soup pan. I would cook onion in olive oil with garlic and ginger and then add spices, tomato paste, sweet potato, peanut butter, broth and water. Let boil and as sweet potato begins to soften add in the collard greens.
