Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color), halved lengthwise and seeded
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Prepare the peppers: Place pepper halves cut-side up in a baking dish.
  • Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, cornstarch, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
  • Combine the filling: Add pineapple, red onion, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the chicken. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
  • Stir in the cooked rice and 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce. Mix well.
  • Stuff the peppers: Spoon the chicken and rice mixture into each bell pepper half.
  • Bake: Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the stuffed peppers. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the peppers are tender.
  • Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken with tofu or another plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
  • Serve with additional teriyaki sauce on the side for extra flavor.
  • Feel free to swap out the brown rice for quinoa for a different twist on the dish.
