Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups cooked rice
Protein and Vegetables
- 1 lb chicken breast, diced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 onion, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Flavoring
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Heat oil: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Cook chicken: Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until it turns golden brown and is cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the chicken. Cook them together until the vegetables soften but remain slightly crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Add pineapple and sauce: Stir in the pineapple chunks and 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce, mixing well to combine the flavors. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Assemble bowls: Spoon the cooked rice into serving bowls, top with the teriyaki chicken and pineapple mixture.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for added freshness and crunch before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute brown rice for a healthier whole grain option.
- For extra heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or serve with sriracha sauce.
- Use fresh pineapple chunks for the best flavor; canned can be used but drain well to avoid excess liquid.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
