Savory Chicken and Rice with Pineapple Delight

This savory chicken and rice with pineapple dish combines tender meat, fluffy rice, and sweet pineapple for a delightful balance of flavors, perfect for family…

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 can 20 oz pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 1 onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until they become soft, around 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and ground ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Stir in the pineapple chunks, soy sauce, chicken broth, and rinsed rice.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover the skillet. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
  7. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to further steam the rice and settle the flavors.
  8. Fluff the rice with a fork, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
