Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce

Rice

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water

Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine the rice and water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes.
  2. Cook the chicken: While the rice is cooking, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and coated in the sauce.
  3. Assemble the bowl: Scoop a serving of cooked rice into each bowl. Top with the teriyaki chicken, pineapple chunks, and sprinkle the sliced green onions on top to garnish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute jasmine rice with brown rice for a healthier option, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • For added crunch, consider adding chopped macadamia nuts or toasted sesame seeds as a topping.
  • If teriyaki sauce is not available, you can make a simple homemade version by mixing soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger.
