Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 ripe pineapple, halved and cored
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Sesame seeds for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine diced chicken and teriyaki sauce. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Pineapple: Cut the pineapple in half lengthwise and carefully remove the core, creating a bowl. Set aside the pineapple flesh for later.
- Cook the Chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Cook the marinated chicken until it’s no longer pink and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell peppers and the reserved pineapple flesh. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the peppers are tender.
- Assemble the Bowls: In each pineapple half, layer the cooked rice, followed by the chicken and vegetable mixture. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve: Enjoy your Teriyaki Chicken Pineapple Bowls warm, directly from the pineapple for a fun presentation!
