Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and season with salt, pepper, and ginger powder. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 6-7 minutes.
- Stir in the soy sauce, honey, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the pineapple chunks and cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
- Add the rice to the pan, stirring to coat the grains in the sauce. Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
- Once done, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot
