Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken
A common remark that I often get from people is “how lucky David is!”. As I continuously cook 👩🍳 all these delicious recipes so I can share them with you, of course, someone has to eat them! Like anyone else, I need a break by making something super simple and thank goodness, I have a few to rely on…
Ask any blogger out there and they will tell you that at one point, they need to recuperate by making something relatively fast and easy ⏳. I have many of those like Hamburger Helper, Orzo with Chicken & Asiago, Cola Chicken, Easy Miso Glazed Salmon, Creole Couscous with Andouille & Shrimp, Lamb Keema, etc.
Another one that is incredibly easy to make is my Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken! With a lovely exotic flavor, this one pot dish is so tasty 😋! It’s quite fast to make and a nice meal to enjoy on weeknights as well as on weekends.
For the making of this recipe, I rely on my Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Sauce. There are two ingredients that don’t go in the sauce which are ginger and garlic 🧄 because they’re used in the main dish. Also, another point I would like to mention is contrary to wings where the sauce has to be reduced considerably, for this application, we don’t reduce the sauce at all. We simply keep it warm until needed.
I like making this Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken because it’s pretty straightforward; toss the veggies, cook the chicken, add the pineapple 🍍, pour the sauce over, and done! Also, it’s a one-pot recipe making clean up a breeze… that’s another bonus! I like serving it with rice but choose what you like to serve it with.
With a gorgeous homemade teriyaki sauce, tossed vegetables and pineapple along with juicy and tender chicken 🐓, this Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken dish is ideal whenever you want something delicious and easy to make. It’s also a versatile recipe as you can add other veggies of your choice…
