Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

Now that summer is around the corner I thought I'd try out something fruity.  Pineapples are so refreshing and I love them in a sweet and savory dish like the recipe I found below.  So yummy, it's like being swept away to a tropical island with Matthew McConaughey.  Ok not really but a girl can dream :)



Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast
  • 1 package frozen yellow, green, red bell pepper strips
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 (8 oz) can pineapple chunks with juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper (optional if you don't like spicy) 
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 3 green onions, chopped fine
1. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center, about 7-10 minutes.
2. Put remaining ingredients in the same wok/skillet-Peppers, onion, teriyaki sauce, pineapple with juice, garlic powder, red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer for about 5-10 minutes then add the flour to thicken and cook for another 15 minutes.
3. Serve over a bed of rice, sprinkle some green onions on top and enjoy!
