This Chicken Teriyaki Pineapple Bowl is a tropical-inspired dish featuring juicy chicken in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, served in a hollowed-out pineapple with rice and fresh pineapple chunks.

Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 fresh pineapple (cut in half lengthwise and hollowed out to create bowls)
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water (for slurry)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
  3. Pour the teriyaki mixture over the chicken. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Mix cornstarch with water to make a slurry and add it to the pan to thicken the sauce. Cook until sauce thickens.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the pineapple by slicing it in half and scooping out the fruit to create a bowl. Dice the scooped pineapple flesh and set aside.
  6. To assemble, place a layer of cooked rice in each pineapple half, add chicken teriyaki, and top with diced pineapple.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for best flavor and presentation.
  • Swap protein options like tofu, shrimp, or beef for variety.
  • To make it gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Grilling the pineapple can add extra flavor.
