  Heat a large sided skillet or wok over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons sesame oil and once hot, add the chicken. Stir fry the chicken for about 5 minutes or until cooked through and browned all over. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

  Return the skillet to high heat, add another tablespoon of sesame oil and the bell peppers, red chile and jalapeno peppers. Stir fry for 3-4 minutes and then add the pineapple, ginger and garlic. Continue to cook the veggies for another 3 minutes or until the pineapple is just beginning to caramelize.

  Sprinkle the spices over the veggies and cook 1 minute. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and return the chicken to the skillet. Toss well. Continue cooking the stir fry until the sauce has reduced and coats the chicken, about 3 minutes. Stir in the black beans and remove from the heat. Stir in the chopped parsley or cilantro. Serve the stir fry over coconut rice if possible, though white rice will work fine too.
