Description
A delicious Hawaiian Chicken Bowl featuring tender chicken thighs, fresh vegetables, and sweet pineapple served over jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup snap peas, trimmed
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden color. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- In the same skillet, add the pineapple chunks, diced red bell pepper, and snap peas. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Pour this mixture over the sautéed vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- To assemble the bowls, start with a base of jasmine rice, then top with sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, and pineapple. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top.
- Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the chicken seasoning.
- Substitute the chicken thighs with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option.
