Start by draining the pineapple juice into a bowl and set aside the sliced pineapple. Remove 2oz of the pineapple juice to a separate bowl and add the cornstarch. Stir to combine and set aside. Add the Dijon, honey, and garlic to the rest of the pineapple juice, stir to combine then set aside.
Slice the chicken into strips and season on both sides with salt, pepper, and thyme. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until about ½ cooked through. Add the Dijon mixture to the chicken in the pan, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes. The chicken will cook the rest of the way through at this time. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.
Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the cornstarch/pineapple juice mixture to the pan and stir to combine. Increase the heat and bring to a boil for about 2 minutes to allow the mixture to thicken. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Return the chicken to the pan along with the sliced pineapple. Spoon the sauce over the top. Cover and let heat for about 5 minutes.
Serve warm over rice. Enjoy!
