  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 cup bell peppers (mixed colors), chopped
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • Cooking oil for sautéing

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken by whisking together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), garlic, and lime juice. Place chicken in a resealable bag with marinade; refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. While marinating, chop the bell peppers and slice the red onion.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove and let rest.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and red onion until soft but still vibrant (about 4-5 minutes).
  5. Slice the rested chicken into strips and return to the skillet with any remaining marinade; stir to combine until heated through.
  6. Serve over cooked rice topped with fresh pineapple chunks.
