  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large bell peppers (any color)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. Lightly brush the peppers with olive oil and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the teriyaki sauce and sesame oil, then add pineapple chunks. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to combine all flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Spoon the cooked chicken mixture into each prepared bell pepper, filling them generously. Place the stuffed peppers in a baking dish.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. For a crispy top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle additional sesame seeds or chopped green onions on top before serving.
  • Feel free to substitute other colorful peppers or use pre-cooked chicken for quicker prep.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure the teriyaki sauce is gluten-free.
