Description

A delightful harmony of sweet pineapple and savory chicken, perfect for busy weeknights or impressing guests.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the pineapple chunks and soy sauce, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the pineapple is heated through and combined.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet, mixing well to integrate all the flavors.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Use leftover rice for the best texture, and consider adding crushed red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
