  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked brown rice

1 1/4 lb chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces

10 oz pineapple chunks in 100% juice

2 tsp brown sugar

1 tsp minced ginger

1 large garlic clove, grated

2 tsp ketchup

2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari as an alternative)

1/4 tsp fish sauce

1 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 cup chicken stock

2 tsp sriracha

1/2 cup diced red onion

2 green onions, sliced

2 avocados, sliced

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

3/4 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup roughly chopped cashews (optional)

Instructions

1-First Steps: Prep and Marinate: Start with cooking 2 cups of brown rice according to package instructions. While that’s going, whisk together 1/4 cup pineapple juice from the can, 2 tsp brown sugar, 1 tsp minced ginger, 1 grated garlic clove, 2 tsp ketchup, 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari), and 1/4 tsp fish sauce to make the marinade. Season the 1 1/4 lb chicken tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces, with salt and pepper, then toss them in the marinade for 10 to 15 minutes.

2-Cooking the Chicken: Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp sesame oil. Cook the chicken in batches if needed, stir-frying until it’s browned and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Once all the chicken is done, combine it in the pan, pour in 1/2 cup chicken stock, scrape up any browned bits, add 2 tsp sriracha, and stir well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3-Assembling and Serving: To put it all together, spoon the cooked brown rice into bowls and top with the teriyaki chicken, 10 oz pineapple chunks, 1/2 cup diced red onion, 2 sliced green onions, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 3/4 cup shredded carrots, 2 sliced avocados, and 1/4 cup chopped cashews if you like. Serve right away for the best mix of textures and flavors.

Notes

πŸ₯’ Chicken tenders are preferred for tenderness and quick cooking.
πŸ₯£ Tamari is a great soy sauce substitute if you want a thicker, less salty sauce.
🍍 Fresh pineapple adds brightness, but canned pineapple in 100% juice works well too.
