Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
Rice
- 2 cups cooked white or jasmine rice
Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce and honey until well combined to create a sweet and savory sauce.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken pieces. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
- Add the Sauce: Pour the soy-honey sauce over the cooked chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and glaze the chicken.
- Prepare the Rice: While the chicken cooks, warm the cooked rice if not already warm, either in a microwave or on the stovetop.
- Assemble the Bowl: Spoon the warm rice into serving bowls. Top the rice with the saucy chicken, then garnish with fresh pineapple chunks for a burst of tropical sweetness.
Notes
- For extra flavor, garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds.
- Use brown rice for a healthier whole grain option.
- Chicken thighs can be substituted for a juicier texture.
- Adjust the honey amount to taste if you prefer a less sweet or sweeter sauce.
- If fresh pineapple is unavailable, canned pineapple chunks drained of juice can be used.
