Description
Tropical Pineapple Chicken Rice Delight is a flavorful and colorful dish that combines tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and vibrant vegetables over a bed of fluffy rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 green onions, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the pepper is tender.
- Stir in the pineapple chunks, frozen peas, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and ground ginger. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. Add the cooked rice and stir until everything is combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the skillet.
- Substitute the chicken with shrimp or tofu for a different protein option, adjusting cooking times as necessary.
