Method

0 of 9 done
  1. Step 1: Begin by cooking the Basmati rice according to the packet instructions. This typically involves rinsing the rice, adding it to a pot with the appropriate amount of water, and simmering until tender. Set aside when done.
  2. Step 2: While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken breast by cutting it into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Chop the red bell pepper into small pieces and finely slice the spring onions. Mince the garlic clove.
  4. Step 4: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are lightly browned and cooked through, around 6-8 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Add the chopped red bell pepper, minced garlic, and spring onions to the pan. Sauté for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Step 6: Add the pineapple chunks to the pan and cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
  7. Step 7: Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  8. Step 8: Combine the cooked Basmati rice with the chicken and pineapple mixture. Stir and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavours meld together.
  9. Step 9: Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy your Pineapple Chicken and Rice.
