How to Make Pineapple Chicken and Rice
- Heat the Oil: Begin by heating olive or sesame oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breast pieces and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Then, set it aside on a plate.
- Sauté the Garlic: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant.
- Create the Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar, stirring well to combine. Bring this mixture to a simmer for about 2 minutes.
- Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch mixed with water, to thicken the sauce to a glossy finish. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until thickened.
- Combine with Chicken: Add the sautéed chicken back to the pan, along with the pineapple chunks and diced red bell pepper, stirring to coat everything.
- Fold in the Rice: Gently fold in the cooked rice, stirring until warmed through and evenly mixed.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish the dish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve hot.

Notes
Watch the garlic closely while sautéing to prevent burning. Serve hot for the best flavor.
