Description

A delightful and colorful combination of chicken, fresh vegetables, and homemade teriyaki sauce served in a vibrant pineapple bowl.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced (red, green, or yellow)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • For the Teriyaki Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil


Instructions

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they brown and cook through.
  3. Stir-fry the sliced bell pepper and broccoli for another 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Combine the pineapple chunks and prepared teriyaki sauce in the skillet. Stir well and coat everything in the sauce.
  5. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Notes

Marinate the chicken in teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before cooking for enhanced flavor. Use day-old rice for better texture.
