Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 15 oz can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve ¼ cup juice)
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey

- Stir in the pineapple chunks and cook for 2 more minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Pour this mixture into the skillet and stir to coat everything.
