A quick and flavorful stir-fry dish featuring diced chicken, bell peppers, and pineapple chunks in a sweet-savory sauce, served over white rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 can (15 oz) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve 1/4 cup juice)
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • Optional garnishes: sliced green onions or sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the diced chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  3. Stir in the diced bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the pepper is slightly tender-crisp.
  4. Add the drained pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes, allowing them to warm through.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved 1/4 cup pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ground ginger to create the sauce.
  6. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and pineapple mixture in the skillet. Stir everything to coat evenly.
  7. Simmer the mixture uncovered for 4-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and reduce.
  8. Serve the pineapple chicken mixture over or alongside cooked white rice. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
