Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced

1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (reserve some for garnish)

1 bell pepper, sliced (red or yellow for color)

1 cup snap peas

2 green onions, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce

1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (to serve)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the bell pepper and snap peas. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.

        Add Pineapple and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, add the diced pineapple, and pour in the sauce. Stir well to coat everything in the sauce. Let it cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

          Serve: Spoon the pineapple chicken teriyaki mixture over bowls of jasmine rice. Garnish with sliced green onions, additional pineapple pieces, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

            Enjoy: Serve your delicious Tropical Pineapple Chicken Teriyaki Bowls hot and enjoy a taste of the tropics!
