I think I’d make this dish every other day if my family would let me get away with it. It is the perfect combination of flavors and I LOVE IT. It’s great because you can use leftover chicken if you have it, any veggies you have on hand…and if you have fresh pineapple? Well, be still my heart.
I don’t have an exact recipe for this dish. It’s more of a “throw food together” kind of dish, depending on what you have on hand. Then, make some brown rice and whip up some Teriyaki Sauce to pour on and you’ve got a great meal! So, forgive me for not putting exact measurements on this “recipe”. Just make enough for your family!
Here’s what you need:
- Chicken – You can use leftover chicken (from cooking a whole chicken) and just stir it into the veggies, or you can brown up some chicken breasts or tenderloins
- Chopped veggies (zucchini, carrots, sweet peppers, corn, peas, green beans or any others you would like) stir fried in olive oil
- Chopped pineapple (fresh or canned), optional
- Cooked brown rice
- Teriyaki Sauce (This sauce is only gluten free if it is made with Gluten Free Soy Sauce!!! I recommend Organic Tamari Soy Sauce from OliveNation)
Here’s what to do:
Get your brown rice cooking. (I have easy directions for cooking brown rice here.) Mix up Teriyaki Sauce and have it ready to go when chicken and veggies are done.
Chop up your veggies and stir them around in a skillet over medium heat with olive oil until they are tender. If your chicken needs to be cooked, throw that in too. (See what a fancy cook I am?) :) If you want, you can season your veggies and chicken with garlic.
Toss pineapple into the veggies to cook for just a few minutes.
Serve rice, veggies, pineapple and chicken with Teriyaki Sauce poured over the top!
What veggies would you throw in to create this meal? I know my menu plan said something different, but I think I’m making this tonight anyway. :)
