Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté onion, garlic, and red bell pepper until softened.

Add pineapple and cook for 2 minutes to release flavor.

Stir in jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, until rice is fully cooked.

Return cooked chicken to the skillet. Stir well and heat through.

Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Use fresh or canned pineapple (in juice, not syrup) for best results.

Substitute jasmine rice with brown rice for added fiber (increase cook time accordingly).

This dish makes excellent leftovers—store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
