Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless chicken breasts (5 oz each)
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
2 tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp grated ginger
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup jasmine rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
Spring onion (for garnish)


Instructions

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned.
Transfer to a bowl, add pineapple, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and chicken broth.
Simmer 10 minutes until glaze reduces and chicken is tender.
Meanwhile, cook jasmine rice according to package instructions.
Stir rice into the skillet and toss to coat in glaze.
