Instructions
- 1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- 2. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced red bell pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add the cubed pineapple to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the pineapple to caramelize slightly.
- 4. Stir in the jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked.
- 5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well to distribute the flavors evenly. Heat through, about 5 minutes.
- 6. Serve the Pineapple Chicken and Rice dish garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
