Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cubed
1 cup (150 g) pineapple chunks (fresh, canned in juice, or frozen)
½ cup (115 ml) teriyaki sauce (low-sodium or gluten-free if preferred)
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
2 green onions, sliced (use only green tops)
Instructions
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken cubes for 3-4 minutes until browned. Add pineapple and cook 2 minutes. Stir in teriyaki sauce and simmer 5 minutes until glaze forms. Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions.
Notes
Use fresh ginger for maximum flavor.
Canned pineapple works best if packed in juice (not syrup).
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
