Ingredients

– 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
– 1 bell pepper, chopped (any color)
– 1 onion, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger (or 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Pineapple Chicken and Rice is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Rice: If you haven’t done so already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside when done.
2. Cook Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Add Pineapple: Stir in pineapple chunks, soy sauce, and honey (or brown sugar). Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
5. Combine Chicken and Rice: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir in the cooked rice, mixing well to combine everything.
6. Heat Through: Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired.
8. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish or individual plates and enjoy!

By following these clear steps, you will end up with a delicious meal that is both enjoyable and nourishing. The combination of savory chicken and sweet pineapple, along with fluffy rice, creates a delightful dining experience.
