Categories: Chicken | Bowl

Ingredients:

  • 1 small pineapple
  • 1/3 c. low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. pineapple juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
  • 2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 2 tsp. water
  • 2 c. cooked rice, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Preparation:

  • Make bowls:
  • Slice pineapple in half, leaving the stem intact.
  • Slice the fruit around the perimeters, angling your knife towards the middle, then make a few cuts across.
  • Scoop chunks out with a spoon and reserve about 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice for sauce.
  • Chop pineapple into smaller pieces to garnish (or snack on) later.

    Make sauce:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  • Season chicken all over with salt.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil.
  • Add chicken in an even layer and cook underneath, about 3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook until golden on second side, about 3 minutes more.
  • Pour sauce over chicken and bring mixture to a simmer.

    Make slurry:
  • Whisk together cornstarch and water, then stir into sauce.
  • Simmer until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes more.
  • Divide rice and chicken between bowls and garnish with chopped pineapple, sesame seeds and green onions, if using.
