My original recipe with some of these ingredients was for a sandwich; this time, I wanted to make it the main dish, so I served it over rice. Hubby isn't a rice person, but he did eat this... it was supper, so take it or not! It's quick and easy, hope you will give it a shot and that it becomes one of your go-to meals.

How To Make chicken, peppers, and pineapple over rice

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet, melt butter. Add in minced shallot, diced peppers, and diced celery. Cook over medium heat until the peppers start to soften.
  • Step 2
    Add in the brown sugar and pineapple juice, stirring to dissolve, and the vegetables are a little glazed. Stir occasionally.
  • Step 3
    Add pineapple chunks, drained chicken, and seasonings. Turn the heat to high, and use a spatula to stir gently so you don't break the chicken up too much. The mixture will thicken slightly; when it does, it's ready.
  • Step 4
    Spoon over hot cooked rice on a plate and serve. Enjoy!
