A delightful one-pan dish combining tender chicken, sweet pineapple, and fluffy rice for a quick and satisfying meal.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Cutting the chicken into uniform pieces ensures even cooking.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, then remove from the skillet.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to allow the chicken to brown properly.
In the same skillet, add the soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine.
Deglaze the skillet with the sauce to incorporate the chicken's browned bits for extra flavor.
Add the rice and pineapple chunks to the skillet, then pour in enough water to cook the rice.
Ensure the rice is evenly spread out in the skillet for uniform cooking.
Cover the skillet and let it simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Check the rice occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the skillet.
Return the chicken to the skillet and add the bell pepper. Stir and cook until the bell pepper is tender.
Adding the bell pepper at the end preserves its crunch and color.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
A sprinkle of chopped cilantro or green onions adds a fresh touch to the dish.
