Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white rice
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas
  • 1 onion, diced

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp honey (optional)
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In a pot, combine rinsed rice with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer covered for about 15-20 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Add cubed chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Stir in diced bell pepper and snap peas; cook for another 3-4 minutes until tender.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, honey (if using), and ginger.
  7. Pour the sauce over the chicken mixture; gently fold in pineapple chunks and cook for another 2-3 minutes until warmed through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste; fluff the cooked rice before serving topped with the pineapple chicken mixture.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
