Pineapple Chicken and Rice: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 cup long-grain white rice
– 2 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
– 1 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon brown sugar
– 1 teaspoon ground ginger
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Green onions, sliced (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Pineapple Chicken and Rice is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for a delicious result:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized cubes and dicing the vegetables.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and allow it to heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add cubed chicken to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until the chicken is browned and cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Stir in Garlic and Spices: Add minced garlic, ground ginger, and brown sugar. Combine well for about 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
6. Add Rice: Pour in the long-grain rice and gently stir to coat it in the mixture.
7. Add Liquids: Carefully add the chicken broth, soy sauce, and pineapple chunks. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.
8. Bring to a Simmer: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to low heat, cover the skillet, and allow it to simmer for about 20 minutes.
9. Check for Doneness: After 20 minutes, check the rice for doneness. If the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, remove it from heat. If needed, let it cook for another few minutes.
10. Fluff and Serve: Once the rice is done, use a fork to fluff it gently. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with sliced green onions.
