Cook rice according to package directions except you don’t need to add oil or salt to the water while cooking. In the meantime, coat the bottom of a nonstick pan with cooking spray.

Heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, and chicken to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove chicken mixture from pan; set aside.

Coat pan again with cooking spray and heat remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add onions, carrots, celery and red bell pepper to pan. Sauté 3-4 minutes until crisp-tender. Drain pineapple, reserving ¾ cup juice. Add 1½ cups pineapple chunks to pan; cook 30 seconds (Reserve remaining pineapple for another use).

Combine the reserved ¾ cup pineapple juice, soy sauce, vinegar, flour, sugar and sugar substitute in a bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Return chicken mixture to pan.
