A delightful fusion of savory chicken and sweet pineapple served over jasmine rice, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions until fluffy and set aside to keep warm.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
  5. Add the diced red bell pepper and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the peppers are tender and the pineapple is warmed through.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Pour this sauce into the skillet with the vegetables and pineapple, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine all ingredients. Let cook together for 2-3 minutes to thicken the sauce slightly and meld flavors.
  8. Spoon the pineapple chicken mixture over the cooked jasmine rice and garnish with sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious meal.

Notes

For added color, consider including snap peas or carrots. Fresh cilantro or sesame seeds make great garnishes.
