Pineapple Chicken and Rice Directions:
-
Prepare the Chicken: Spray a large non-stick skillet or pot with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breasts and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
-
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 4-5 minutes.
-
Cook the Rice: Add the uncooked brown rice to the skillet with the vegetables and stir to coat the rice in the juices. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
-
Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 35-40 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
-
Add Pineapple: Stir in the pineapple chunks and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the pineapple is heated through.
-
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions or cilantro if desired. Serve hot.
