Creating Easy Pineapple Chicken and Rice is straightforward when you follow these steps:

1. Cook Rice: If you haven’t already, cook the rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and diced red bell pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the bell pepper starts to soften.

5. Add Snow Peas: Toss in the snow peas and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring they stay bright green and crisp.
6. Add Sauce: Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to combine all ingredients. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with a splash of water and add it to the skillet.
7. Combine with Rice: Finally, add the cooked rice to the skillet. Gently mix everything, ensuring the rice is evenly coated with the sauce.
8. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt or soy sauce as needed.
