Ingredients
Scale
1 pound chicken breast, cubed
1 cup pineapple, cubed
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 cup jasmine rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper until softened.
Cook the Pineapple: Add the cubed pineapple to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly softened and caramelized.
Cook the Rice: Stir in the jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir well to combine. Heat through for a few minutes to ensure the chicken is warmed.
Garnish: Serve the Pineapple Chicken and Rice hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
