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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
