Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • Canned pineapple tidbits or chunks packed in juice
  • Jasmine or basmati rice
  • Low-sodium soy sauce
  • Rice vinegar
  • Brown sugar or honey or maple syrup
  • Fresh ginger
  • Fresh garlic
  • Cornstarch
  • Sliced bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange)
  • Thinly sliced onions
  • Snap peas or carrots (optional)
  • Chopped green onions (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Neutral cooking oil (like vegetable or canola oil)

Instructions

  1. Start the Rice: Get your rice cooking first according to package instructions.
  2. Prepare the Chicken and Pineapple: Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and drain the canned pineapple, reserving about ½ cup of the juice.
  3. Whisk Up the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and cornstarch. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add chicken in a single layer and cook for 4-6 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through. Remove from skillet.
  5. Sauté the Vegetables: Add another teaspoon of oil if needed and sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 3-5 minutes until they start to soften.
  6. Combine and Simmer: Return chicken to the skillet, pour the sauce over, and add drained pineapple. Stir to combine.
  7. Thicken the Sauce: Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens (2-4 minutes).
  8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or savoriness as needed.
  9. Serve Immediately: Serve the pineapple chicken over rice and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
