Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 large pineapple, halved lengthwise and flesh scooped out, reserving the shells
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine or basmati)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the pineapple bowls by carefully scooping out the flesh, leaving about 1/2 inch of pineapple attached to the rind. Cut the scooped-out pineapple into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, and garlic powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the teriyaki sauce and whisk to combine.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the chicken cubes and cook until browned on all sides.
- Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Fill each pineapple bowl with cooked rice. Top with the teriyaki chicken and pineapple mixture. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Notes
For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the teriyaki sauce. You can also grill the pineapple bowls for a smoky flavor. Store leftover chicken and pineapple mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
