Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced

1 cup teriyaki sauce (homemade or store-bought)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 yellow bell pepper, diced

1 cup cooked jasmine rice

2 green onions, sliced for garnish

1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken with half of the teriyaki sauce. Mix well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).

    Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and yellow bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and set aside.

      Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken pieces along with the remaining teriyaki sauce. Cook over medium-high heat for about 7-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized. Add the diced pineapple during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to warm it up.

        Combine with Rice: Once the chicken is done, reduce the heat to low and add the cooked jasmine rice to the skillet. Gently mix everything together until heated through, ensuring the rice gets coated with the teriyaki sauce.

          Assemble the Dish: Divide the chicken and rice mixture among serving plates. Top each serving with the sautéed bell peppers.

            Garnish: Sprinkle with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro (if using) for added flavor and presentation.

              Serve: Enjoy your Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken & Rice Peppers warm, and savor the delightful fusion of flavors!
