  • 1 piece bell pepper, sliced Color of the bell pepper is optional.
  • 1/2 piece onion, sliced Use any onion type.

Instructions
 

Cooking

  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
  • Add sliced bell pepper and onion, cooking until softened.
  • Stir in pineapple chunks and teriyaki sauce, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken mixture over cooked rice.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd your pan; it will steam the chicken. If your sauce is too thick, add a splash of water or broth. For more flavor, consider adding toasted sesame oil at the end.
