Step-by-Step Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
Wash and pat dry the chicken. Cut it into bite-sized cubes. Sprinkle a little salt and black pepper over the chicken pieces.
Step 2: Make the Teriyaki Sauce
In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. In another tiny bowl, mix water and cornstarch until smooth, then add it to the sauce mixture.
Step 3: Cook the Chicken
Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 6–8 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked from inside.
Step 4: Add Vegetables
Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the pan. Stir and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly soft but still crunchy.
Step 5: Add Pineapple
Put the pineapple chunks into the pan and cook for 2 minutes. The pineapple will become juicy and slightly caramelized.
Step 6: Pour the Sauce
Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the chicken mixture. Stir everything well and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken beautifully.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Turn off the heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top.
Serve hot with steamed rice, noodles, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
