Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts boneless skinless, diced
salt and black pepper to taste
3 cups jasmine rice cooked and chilled
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 cup peas and carrots frozen
1 small onion diced
½ red bell pepper seeded and diced
3 cloves garlic minced
2 eggs lightly beaten
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 green onions sliced
½ teaspoon ground ginger

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Season the diced chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Cook the onion, red bell pepper, garlic, peas, carrots, and ginger for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the skillet and pour in the beaten eggs in the middle. Scramble until fully cooked.
Add the chilled rice, cooked chicken, and pineapple chunks to the skillet. Pour in the soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything together well and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and absorb the flavors.
Stir in the green onions and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm.
