Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tbsp cornstarch and 4 tbsp water. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Add 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 4 tbsp pineapple juice, 4 tsp vinegar, and 1 tsp minced ginger root to the cornstarch mixture. Mix well and set aside.
- Season the 4 chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper on both sides.
- Heat 3 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C). Remove the cooked chicken breasts from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the sliced red bell pepper, pineapple chunks, and sliced onion.
- Sauté the vegetables for about 5-6 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is well glazed.
- Serve the pineapple teriyaki glazed chicken skillet hot over steamed rice or alongside your favorite sides.
Tips:
- Cut the chicken breasts into even-sized pieces to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the teriyaki glaze for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of cornstarch in the recipe.
- Use fresh pineapple juice for a more natural flavor, but canned juice works fine in a pinch.
- For added color and texture, consider tossing in some green bell pepper or snap peas along with the red pepper.
- Be attentive while cooking the chicken to avoid overcooking, ensuring it stays juicy and tender.
