Description

A vibrant dish featuring tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and aromatic jasmine rice, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.


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
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • 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 aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the cubed pineapple and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add the jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and fully cooked.
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir everything together. Heat through for 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Can be made with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier twist.
