Pineapple Chicken and Rice

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained (reserve juice)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Directions:

  1. In a medium pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, and cornstarch.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add garlic, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Stir in the pineapple chunks and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens and everything is well combined, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Serve the pineapple chicken over the cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
