Creating Tropical Pineapple Chicken & Rice Delight is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until rice is tender.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with garlic powder, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Pineapple and Peppers: Stir in the drained pineapple chunks and diced bell peppers. Cook together for another 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
4. Mix in Soy Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and stir everything together. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Combine with Rice: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork. Add it to the skillet, mixing well until every grain is coated in the flavorful mixture.
6. Serve: Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or chopped green onions if desired.
