In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and chicken broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the chicken:
While the rice is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and ground ginger.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the pineapple sauce:
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Add the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, soy sauce, turmeric (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to reduce slightly.
Combine and serve:
Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips or bite-sized pieces. Add the chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat with the pineapple sauce.
Serve the chicken mixture over the cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro or chopped green onions. For added flavor, you can drizzle extra pineapple juice over the top or add a squeeze of lime juice.
Enjoy:
Serve your Pineapple Chicken and Rice warm and enjoy the combination of savory chicken, sweet pineapple, and tender rice. This dish pairs beautifully with steamed vegetables or a light salad for a complete meal.
