Indulgent twist on chicken teriyaki: sweet onion and pineapple with cashews, topped with melted Swiss cheese strips.
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cubed
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 large bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch squares
  • 0.5 sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch squares
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 sweet onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 cup cashew pieces
  • 3 dashes Asian-style hot sauce, or to taste
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks, thawed
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese, cut into strips
Instructions:
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sizzle the chicken in 1 tablespoon of aromatic sesame oil with a sprinkle of salt and pepper until nearly cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Cook and stir bell pepper and onion squares until the edges of the peppers are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Combine the teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, sweet onion, and garlic powder with the chicken and bring it to a boil. Simmer over medium-low heat until the liquid is reduced by half and the chicken is fully cooked, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Combine the bell pepper-onion mix, cashews, and hot sauce with the chicken. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in the pineapple. Layer Swiss cheese slices on top of the chicken mix.
