Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks
  • 1 bell pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 green onions (sliced for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Stir well until the ingredients meld into a glossy mixture.
  2. Mix cornstarch with water until smooth. Add this mixture to the saucepan, stirring as it simmers for about 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Cook for 5-7 minutes, browning consistently.
  4. Add sliced bell pepper and broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in pineapple chunks and the teriyaki sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve the mixture over warm rice in bowls, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute grilled tofu or tempeh for chicken. Customize vegetables based on availability.
