Servings: 4
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
½ cup teriyaki sauce
¼ cup pineapple juice
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp vegetable oil
4 large bell peppers (any color)
1 cup cooked white rice
1 cup diced pineapple
¼ cup chopped green onions
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sesame seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions:
1. Marinate the Chicken:
In a bowl, mix chicken cubes with teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours to soak in flavor.
2. Sauté the Chicken:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add vegetable oil and cook the marinated chicken for 5–7 minutes, until browned and fully cooked.
3. Prep the Bell Peppers:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove seeds and membranes.
4. Prepare the Rice (if not already cooked):
Bring chicken broth to a boil, add rice, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
5. Make the Filling:
In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, rice, diced pineapple, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Stuff the Peppers:
Fill each bell pepper with the chicken and rice mixture. Arrange them in a baking dish.
7. Bake:
Bake the stuffed peppers for 20–25 minutes or until the peppers are tender and the filling is heated through.
8. Garnish & Serve:
Top with sesame seeds and extra green onions for added crunch and color.
