Sweet and Savory Pineapple Chicken and Rice

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3: Add the Pineapple and Rice
Stir in the pineapple and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to slightly caramelize. Then, add the jasmine rice, chicken broth, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well.

Step 4: Simmer Until Tender
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 5: Combine and Serve
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let it heat through for 2 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
