Ingredients Needed

• Teriyaki Sauce – The teriyaki sauce in Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken is a savory blend of soy sauce, sugar, mirin, and saki. It brings a rich, sweet, and savory umami flavor to the dish, coating the chicken with a glossy glaze that’s both delicious and slightly caramelized. You can make your own or use store-bought.
• Chicken – Ground chicken is the primary protein used. It’s cooked by stir-frying in the dish, providing a flavorful and tender meat component that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.
• Garlic and Ginger – Minced garlic and grated ginger add aromatic depth and complexity to the dish.
• Pineapple – The pineapple adds a sweet and tangy flavor profile that enhances the overall taste of the dish. It provides a tropical and refreshing contrast to the savory teriyaki sauce, creating a harmonious balance of flavors and a delightful burst of juiciness in each bite.

How to Make Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

1. Fry the chicken. In a large skill heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken. Sprinkle the arrowroot powder on top. Break the chicken apart as it browns, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and let it cook for 1 minute more.
2. Add in the vegetables and fruit. Add the red bell peppers, scallions, pineapple, and pineapple juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes tossing to combine the ingredients.

3. Mix in the sauce. Place about 2/3 of the sauce into the skillet. Toss to coat and cook another 5 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Serve over rice and drizzle the remaining sauce on top.

Equipment

• ▢
  Skillet

Ingredients

• ▢ 1½ lbs Ground Chicken
• ▢ 3 tablespoons Sesame Oil
• ▢ 1 medium Bell Pepper
• ▢ 3 Garlic Cloves minced
• ▢ 2 teaspoons Ginger minced
• ▢ 1/4 cup Green Onions chopped
• ▢ 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
• ▢ 1/4 cup Pineapple Juice
• ▢ 3/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce

Instructions

• Fry the chicken. In a large skill heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken. Sprinkle the arrowroot powder on top. Break the chicken apart as it browns, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and let it cook for 1 minute more.
• Add in the vegetables and fruit. Add the red bell peppers, scallions, pineapple, and pineapple juice. Cook for an additional 5 minutes tossing to combine the ingredients.
• Mix in the sauce. Place about 2/3 of the sauce into the skillet. Toss to coat and cook another 5 minutes or until it begins to thicken. Serve over rice and drizzle the remaining sauce on top.

Notes

• Don’t overcook the stir-fry. Be careful not to overcook the chicken or vegetables. They should be cooked until just done and still retain their crispness.
• Sauce Control: Start by adding only part of the sauce to the stir-fry. You can add more as needed to reach your desired flavor and consistency. It’s easier to add more sauce than to fix an overly saucy dish. Plus you’ll want to reserve some for drizzling on top once it’s plated.
• Serve with rice or noodles. Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken pairs well with steamed rice or stir-fried noodles, so have them cooked and ready when your stir-fry is done.
