Drain the pineapple into a bowl.

To the remaining pineapple juice add the soy sauce, mirin, ketchup and chilli flakes, garlic and ginger. Mix well and also set aside.

Cut the chicken breasts into roughly 4-5 slices, depending on size. Dust with some cornflour.

Heat the oil in a pan/wok and stir fry the peppers & onion for about 3 minutes, add the chicken and cook for a further 4-5 minutes till lightly coloured on all sides.

Add the pineapple and sweet and sour mixture and bring to a simmer for about 5 minutes till the chicken is cooked through. Add the cornflour and pineapple slurry and cook for about 1 minute till the sauce has thickened and everything is nicely coated.

Serve with rice or noodles and/or some steamed vegetables like pak choi or broccoli.
