Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium pineapple
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp cooking oil (vegetable oil, coconut oil, olive oil etc.)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (from the pineapple boats)
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 3 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ginger powder
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 3 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (brown rice or white rice)
  • 1 green onion (chopped)
  • ½ tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pineapple boats by cutting a medium pineapple in half lengthwise and scooping out the flesh while reserving one cup of chunks.
  2. Season bite-sized pieces of boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  3. Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken and cook until lightly browned (about 5-7 minutes).
