Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 1 red bell pepper diced

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder

  2. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the pepper is tender.
  3. Stir in the pineapple chunks, frozen peas, soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, and ginger powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Add the cooked rice to the skillet and mix well to combine all ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in the sliced green onions. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
