Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 bell pepper diced (any color)
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup green onions sliced (for garnish)

  1. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the pepper is tender.
