Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
In a huge skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high intensity. Add the daintily cut chicken and cook until brilliant brown on all sides. Eliminate the chicken from the skillet and put it to the side on a plate.
2. Sauté the Onion:
Utilizing a similar skillet, add the slashed onion. Sauté for a few minutes until it becomes soft and translucent, releasing its sweet aroma.
3. Add Pineapple and Sauce:
Add the drained pineapple chunks to the skillet, allowing them to warm and release their juices slightly. Pour in the soy sauce, honey, and rice vinegar. Add the minced garlic and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if you’d like a little kick of spice. Stir everything well so the flavors combine smoothly.
4. Combine and Heat:
Return the browned chicken to the skillet with the pineapple mixture. Toss the ingredients together until the chicken is fully coated in the flavorful sauce. Let everything heat through for a couple of minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Serve:
Spoon the pineapple chicken mixture over the cooked rice and serve warm. This dish is great on its own or paired with some light, refreshing sides for a well-rounded meal.
