One Pot Pineapple Chicken and Rice
Easy One Pot Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple Rice dripping with flavor and cooked all in the same skillet! Teriyaki Chicken + pineapple + rice = a match made in heaven. The marinade doubles as the Glaze (no double work) for incredibly juicy chicken with flavor through and through - not just on the surface. The Teriyaki Glaze seeps into the rice for slightly tangy, sweet, teriyaki pineapple rice that perfectly compliments your chicken. It doesn't get any better.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Whisk together Teriyaki Sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Add 1/3 cup of this sauce plus 1 tablespoon olive oil and chicken to a freezer bag/shallow dish and marinate ⏱️ 1 hour up to overnight. Refrigerate remaining Teriyaki Sauce separately.

2
When ready to cook, strain pineapple juice from crushed pineapple and add water to strained juice to equal 3 1/2 cups liquid (“Pineapple Water”). Set aside.
3
Stir reserved Teriyaki Sauce and add to large skillet (nonstick works best). Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, stirring constantly (glaze will continue to thicken upon standing). Remove Teriyaki Glaze to same bowl it was refrigerated in.
4
Wipe skillet (doesn’t have to be thorough) and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over high heat. Let excess marinade drip off chicken and add to skillet. Cook over medium high heat for ⏱️ 5 minutes on each side (⏱️ 3 minutes on each side for thighs) or until nicely browned (will not be all the way cooked through) and remove to a plate.

5
Wipe skillet and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and Pineapple Water. Bring to a simmer then stir in crushed pineapple and rice. Cover, reduce to medium low and cook for ⏱️ 12 minutes. Stir rice and nestle chicken on top and brush with Teriyaki Glaze. Cover and continue to cook for an additional ⏱️ 8-12 minutes or until rice and chicken are cooked through.
