Description

A quick and delicious dish combining chicken and sweet pineapple flavors, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 cup sweet and sour sauce
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil


Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and cook until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pineapple chunks, allowing them to warm through for about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the sweet and sour sauce to the skillet, mixing well to coat the chicken and pineapple.
  5. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors and thicken the sauce slightly.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing everything together until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with green onions if desired.

Notes

Consider marinating the chicken for added flavor and experimenting with additional vegetables for nutrition.
