Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 Chicken Breasts
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 cup Pineapple Chunks
- 2 Bell Peppers
- 2 cups Cooked Rice
- 2 Green Onions
Optional Ingredients
- 1 block Tofu (for vegetarian option)
- 1–2 Jalapeños (for spicy twist)
- 1 cup Zucchini, Corn, or Carrots (for added veggies)
- Quinoa (for gluten-free option)
- 1 tbsp Vinegar (for sweet and sour variation)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. This helps them cook evenly and absorb maximum flavor from the teriyaki sauce.
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the chicken pieces with teriyaki sauce. Allow it to marinate for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors meld together beautifully.
- Cook the Rice: While the chicken is marinating, cook your rice according to package instructions. You want fluffy rice that serves as a perfect base for your stuffed peppers.
- Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pineapple chunks and cooked rice to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly to ensure that the flavors blend well.
- Prepare the Peppers: While the chicken mixture cools slightly, slice the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds. These will be your edible bowls, so make sure they are sturdy.
- Stuff the Peppers: Fill each pepper with the chicken and rice mixture, packing it down slightly to ensure each pepper is full and flavorful.
- Bake the Peppers: Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are tender.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh chicken and produce enhance the flavor and overall quality of the dish.
- Don’t Rush the Marinade: Allowing the chicken to marinate longer will yield a more flavorful result.
- Adjust the Sauce: Feel free to add more teriyaki sauce if you like a saucier filling.
- Experiment with Garnishes: Fresh herbs can elevate the presentation and flavor of your dish.
- Serve Immediately: For the best texture and flavor, serve the stuffed peppers right after baking.
