Description
A delightful and easy-to-make dish that combines juicy chicken, sweet pineapple, and vibrant vegetables over a bed of rice, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it evenly browns and cooks through.
- Once your chicken reaches the desired color, add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables become tender and fragrant.
- Stir in the pineapple chunks and soy sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
- Serve the pineapple chicken mixture over a hearty bed of cooked rice.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for that extra pop of color and flavor.
Notes
For deeper flavor, consider marinating the chicken in soy sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking. Add spices like red pepper flakes for extra heat if desired.
