Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, sliced
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 4 cups Cooked rice
Instructions
In a medium bowl, prepare the marinade by mixing soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserving the marinade for later use) and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the red bell pepper slices for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally to lightly caramelize the pineapple.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and bring it to a simmer.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the skillet, stirring well to thicken the sauce. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle the chopped green onion over the dish for garnish.
Serve the Hawaiian Chicken Delicious over a bed of cooked rice, and enjoy!
