A quick and flavorful teriyaki pineapple chicken stir-fry served over rice, perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (or jasmine rice)
  • 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into chunky wedges
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 3 green onions (scallions), sliced
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil (avocado or vegetable), divided
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • Optional: 1–2 tsp sriracha or red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir in the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch + water). Set aside.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken strips, season lightly with salt and pepper, and stir-fry 5–7 minutes until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Stir-fry the veggies: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Toss in red onion, broccoli, and bell peppers. Stir-fry 4–6 minutes until crisp-tender with a little char.
  4. Add pineapple + sauce: Add pineapple chunks and cooked chicken back to the pan. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and toss 1–2 minutes until thick, glossy, and everything is coated.
  5. Serve: Spoon rice into bowls, top with the teriyaki pineapple chicken stir-fry, and finish with sliced scallions.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for a brighter flavor.
  • Adjust spice level with sriracha or red pepper flakes.
  • Serve with extra teriyaki sauce if desired.
