  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or green beans
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by combining soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in the mixture for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add a little more sesame oil if needed. SautΓ© bell peppers, snap peas, and pineapple chunks until tender yet crisp, about 3-5 minutes. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together.
  4. Serve the stir-fried chicken, vegetables, and pineapple over cooked jasmine rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds for a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a microwave until heated through.
