Instructions

Making Easy Pineapple Chicken and Rice is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to bring this dish to life:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
3. Add Pineapple: Once the chicken is done, add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir to combine.
4. Add Rice and Broth: Pour in the uncooked rice and chicken broth over the chicken and pineapple mixture.
5. Add Soy Sauce: Drizzle the soy sauce into the mix for an extra flavor boost.
6. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
7. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
8. Fluff the Rice: Remove the skillet from heat. Let it sit, covered, for a few minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
