Pineapple Chicken and Rice
Ingredients:
For the Pineapple Chicken:
• 2 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup pineapple, cut into chunks
• ½ cup red bell pepper, diced
• ½ cup onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons water
For the Rice:
• 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
• 3 ¼ cups water
• 1 teaspoon salt
Season chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and brown the chicken on both sides. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add pineapple, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté until softened.
Add soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and ginger to the skillet, stirring to combine. Return the chicken to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.
While the chicken cooks, bring water to a boil in a pot. Add rinsed rice and salt, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes or until water is absorbed.
Serve the pineapple chicken over the cooked rice, garnished with additional pineapple chunks and fresh cilantro, if desired.
