Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
• 2 stalks Green onion, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 4 cups Cooked rice

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later use) and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the red bell pepper slices for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 5

Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to lightly caramelize the pineapple.

Step 6

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and bring it to a simmer.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring well to thicken the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped green onion over the dish for garnish.

Step 9

Serve the Hawaiian Chicken Delicious over a bed of cooked rice, and enjoy!
