Teriyaki Chicken Skewers with Pineapple Rice
4 servings
30 minutes total

Ingredients

  • 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks in juice
  • 1 medium red bell pepper
  • 1 lb chilled Deli chicken tenders
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 12 (6-inch) bamboo skewers
  • 4 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce, divided
  • ¼ bunch green onions, divided

Steps

    1. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Drain pineapple (reserving 1 cup pineapple chunks and 1 cup juice); cut pepper and chicken into bite-size pieces (wash hands). Cook rice following package instructions (using 1 cup pineapple juice in place of 1 cup water).
    2. Alternate chicken, reserved pineapple chunks, and peppers on skewers. Brush skewers with 2 tablespoons sauce, then place on grill; grill 4–6 minutes, turning often, until grill-marked and chicken is 165°F. Brush with remaining 2 tablespoons sauce in last minute of cook time.
    3. Slice onions thinly (¼ cup); stir 2 tablespoons into rice. Serve skewers over rice; sprinkle with remaining green onions.
    Chef's Tip: Skewer remaining pineapple and grill 1 minute on each side for a snack, or stir into rice with onions.
