  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Optional: red pepper flakes for heat
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the sliced chicken, toss to coat, and let it marinate for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add remaining oil. Sauté sliced bell peppers and red onion for 3-4 minutes until tender. Stir in pineapple chunks and cook for another 2 minutes until slightly caramelized.
  4. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Toss to combine and cook for another minute. Garnish with cilantro and red pepper flakes if desired.
  5. Serve the chicken and pineapple mixture over cooked rice or quinoa in bowls, and enjoy your vibrant Hawaiian Chicken & Pineapple Bowls as a tropical meal.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
  • For gluten-free options, ensure soy sauce is gluten-free or substitute with coconut aminos.
  • Adjust spice level with red pepper flakes according to your preferred heat.
  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned pineapple works well too.
