Creating Easy Pineapple Chicken and Rice is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ginger powder.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, cooking until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
