Gluten-Free Hawaiian Chicken and Rice Bowl

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Chicken thighs
• 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
• 1/4 cup Pineapple juice
• 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Ginger
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tbsp Arrowroot powder
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks
• 4 cups Cooked rice
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 1 tsp Sesame seeds

Instructions

1. 1In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup coconut aminos, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon ginger, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder until well combined.
2. 2Cut the 1.5 lbs chicken thighs into 1-inch bite-sized pieces.
3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large 12-inch skillet or wok over medium-high heat, which is about 375°F (190°C). Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
4. 4Pour the sauce mixture from the bowl over the chicken in the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, about 300°F (150°C). Cook for 5 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce has thickened enough to coat the chicken.
5. 5Stir in the 1 cup pineapple chunks and cook for 1 more minute to heat them through.
6. 6Divide the 4 cups cooked rice among four serving bowls. Top the rice with the chicken and pineapple mixture.
7. 7Garnish each bowl with the 2 stalks of sliced green onions and 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
