Super easy pineapple chicken

Not really giving amounts because it's according to taste (and how many people you're serving)

1 whole chicken or 2 kilo of chicken breast, diced
green and/or red peppers, diced
onions, diced
minced garlic
1 large can of pineapple chunks in syrup*
brown sugar
black pepper
salt
garlic powder
1 1/2 cups ketchup
water

Sautee the peppers, onions, and garlic until the onions become translucent.
Add the chicken and mix.
Pour the syrup into a large bowl and add the pineapple chunks to the pot.
Add the brown sugar, s&p, garlic powder, and ketchup to the syrup, mix until well-blended and add to the pot.
Mix thoroughly and add just enough water until the chicken is mostly covered (I leave about an inch exposed)
Cover and let it simmer on the stove top on a medium flame for about 2 hours.
Serve hot on rice or couscous.

* I've started using a package of frozen pineapple instead of canned pineapple, and either some orange juice or pineapple juice if I can find it. The frozen pineapple tastes SO much better than canned.

(BTW, it tastes better the second day)
