1 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
1 bay leaf
¼ cup of low salt light soy sauce
⅛ cup apple cider vinegar
⅛ cup of sugar-free pineapple juice
1 tablespoon balsamic dressing (Crema di Balsamico)
generous pinch of freshly cracked black pepper
generous pinch brown sugar
salt
3 garlic cloves, crashed
1 medium onion, finely diced

1
Throw everything in a heavy bottomed pot, give it a little stir to make sure the meat is covered with the sauce.
2
Cover the pot and place on top of the stove over medium heat.
3
Cook for 30-45 minutes until the meat is cooked through, give it an occasional stir.
4
If you're using chicken legs or chicken thighs, braise it in low heat for one hour stirring occasionally to make sure the meat does not dry out and that it's evenly seasoned.
5
Turn up the heat to medium high until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
6
Taste it and adjust seasoning if you want.
7
Serve with white rice, lots of steaming hot white rice (not brown) lol!
