Description
Bright and tangy pineapple meets savory chicken and fluffy rice in this quick one-pan skillet meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 pound chicken breast, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and fragrant, about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the pineapple chunks and 2 tablespoons soy sauce, cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the pineapple is heated through.
- Add the 2 cups cooked rice to the skillet, mixing well to integrate all the flavors. Continue to cook until the rice is heated through and everything is evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For a lower-sodium option, use reduced-sodium soy sauce. Fresh pineapple enhances flavor, but canned works as well. Customize with different vegetable colors or add spices for heat.
