Ingredients
- 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup bell peppers, diced (any color)
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions or cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Add Pineapple and Sauce: Stir in the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), and ginger (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Combine with Rice: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Add the cooked rice and mix well, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
