Description

These Teriyaki Pineapple Chicken Rice Stuffed Peppers are a perfect weeknight meal, bringing a touch of sweet and savory sunshine to your dinner table. The tender chicken, juicy pineapple, and flavorful rice all tucked into a beautifully roasted bell pepper make for a dish that’s as delightful to look at as it is to eat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large red bell peppers, tops cut and seeds removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 1 cup cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onion (optional)
  • 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and arrange the hollowed bell peppers upright.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Cook 5–6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add diced red bell pepper and cook 2 minutes. Stir in teriyaki sauce and sesame oil.
  4. Toss in cooked rice and pineapple chunks. Stir everything together and cook 2 more minutes.
  5. Spoon the teriyaki chicken mixture into each pepper, pressing down slightly to fill.
  6. Cover baking dish with foil and bake 25 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onion or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

If using canned pineapple, drain very well to prevent soggy filling. For a lighter option, substitute chicken thighs with chicken breast. Filling can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
