Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 large chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Rice
- ½ cup jasmine rice
Produce
- ½ fresh pineapple or 1 cup canned pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper
- ½ avocado
- ½ red onion
Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Prepare the jasmine rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set it aside to keep warm.
- Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breast into medium-sized pieces. In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce and soy sauce, then add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken pieces and cook until they are golden brown and thoroughly cooked, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the chicken aside.
- Prep the Veggies & Fruit: Dice the pineapple and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the avocado and red onion for fresh texture and taste.
- Assemble the Bowl: Divide the cooked jasmine rice evenly between serving bowls. Top each with the cooked chicken, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, sliced avocado, and red onion slices.
- Garnish (Optional): For added flavor, drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the assembled bowls. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm.
Notes
- Use fresh pineapple if possible for a sweeter, juicier taste; canned pineapple works well as a convenient alternative.
- Marinating the chicken longer will enhance the flavor; you can marinate it up to 2 hours in advance.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade or as a topping.
- Substitute jasmine rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier grain option.
- This bowl can be assembled ahead of time but is best enjoyed freshly cooked.
