Prepare the rice by rinsing it and cooking it with cold water and salt to taste.

For the sweet and sour sauce, mix light soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, tomato ketchup, and corn flour in a bowl.

Heat 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add diced chicken breast or thigh to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the remaining grapeseed oil and stir-fry the bell peppers, onion, garlic, and ginger until tender.

Add the sweet and sour sauce mixture to the pan along with the cooked chicken and stir to combine.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well mixed.
