how to make Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 Tablespoons tapioca starch
2 Tablespoons avocado oil (divided)
1/3 cup honey
3 Tablespoons pineapple juice (from canned pineapple or fresh)
2 teaspoons sriracha
2 Tablespoons tamari (or soy sauce/coconut aminos)
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon tapioca starch
2 cups cooked rice
1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)
1 1/2 cup sugar snap peas
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, about 1/2" pieces)
green onions
sesame seeds
sriracha (optional for garnish)

Directions:

Combine the cubed chicken with the salt, pepper, and tapioca starch. Set aside.
Whisk the ingredients for the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce (except for the tapioca starch). Set aside 1/4 cup of sauce, then whisk in the starch for the remaining sauce.
In a large skillet, heat 1 Tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook for 7–9 minutes until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Once the oil has dripped off the chicken, add it to the large sauce bowl and toss until fully coated.
Add the remaining avocado oil and sauté the bell peppers and sugar snap peas for 5–7 minutes, or until lightly tender. Add the pineapple chunks and cook for 1 more minute.
Add the chicken and sauce mixture back into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, letting the sauce thicken.
Assemble the bowls with cooked rice, top with the pineapple teriyaki chicken and veggies. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of extra sauce.

how to serve Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

You can serve Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls warm straight from the skillet. They are perfect as a complete meal on their own, but you can also serve them alongside a simple side salad or some steamed broccoli for extra nutrition.

how to store Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls

To store leftover Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about 3-4 days. When you’re ready to eat them again, simply reheat in the microwave until warmed through.

tips to make Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
