Description
A quick and delicious blend of tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and vibrant peppers served over fluffy jasmine rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups jasmine rice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 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
- Prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instructions, then set aside to stay warm.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is fully browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
- Stir in the diced red bell pepper and pineapple chunks. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the pepper is tender and pineapple is warmed.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Pour the sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the vegetables and pineapple.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. Allow everything to cook together for 2-3 minutes so the sauce thickens slightly and flavors blend.
- Serve the pineapple chicken mixture over the jasmine rice, garnished with sliced green onions. Enjoy your delicious meal!
