Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice. Leftovers work great.
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup pineapple: Fresh preferred; canned okay if well-drained.
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped green onions for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the skillet, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the red bell pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  4. Add the pineapple chunks, frozen peas, soy sauce, and honey. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  5. Gently fold in the cooked rice, mixing until everything is evenly combined and heated.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.
