Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ginger powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken thighs and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.
Add the bell pepper, onion, and broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for an additional 5 minutes until slightly tender.
Stir in the pineapple chunks and teriyaki sauce, mixing well.
In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked rice with the chicken mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Top with shredded cheese and cover the casserole with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.
