Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Chicken:

    1. 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
    2. 1 tablespoon olive oil
    3. 1/2 onion, chopped
    4. 1 can (15 oz) pineapple chunks, drained
    5. 1/4 cup soy sauce
    6. 1/4 cup honey
    7. 1/4 cup rice vinegar
    8. 1 clove garlic, minced
    9. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
    10. 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  2. Sauté the Onion: In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add Pineapple and Sauce: Stir in the drained pineapple chunks, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

  4. Combine the Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss it to coat with the sauce and pineapple mixture. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.

  5. Serve: Serve the pineapple chicken mixture over the cooked rice. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a spicier dish, add more red pepper flakes to taste.
  • You can also add a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad for a more balanced meal.
  • This dish works great with both white or brown rice.
