Print Recipe

A colorful and flavorful dish combining sweet pineapple and savory chicken, perfect for weeknight dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 can of pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the same skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are soft.
  4. Pour in the rice and stir to combine. Add pineapple chunks and their juice, along with soy sauce. Stir well.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the rice mixture in the skillet. Cover and let it heat through for a few minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce and pineapple juice before cooking. Add red pepper flakes for heat if desired.
