Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) pineapple chunks in juice, drained (reserve juice)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Stir in chopped onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic; sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.
  3. Mix in long-grain rice and pour in reserved pineapple juice along with chicken broth. Ensure there’s enough liquid for the rice to cook properly.
  4. Gently fold in drained pineapple chunks and soy sauce; bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 20-25 minutes until rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
