This Chicken Teriyaki Fried Rice is a dish the whole family will love! This recipe is super quick to make, made with pineapple and teriyaki sauce, it will be your next family favourite rice dish.
I love good fried rice, so when I tried this at a family BBQ, I had to give it a go making it myself. The pineapple adds the sweetness that goes perfectly with the teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
You can use any type of teriyaki sauce you like, but my favourite is the AYAM one from Woolworths. Feel free to use any vegetables you like or what you have on hand the fridge or freezer.
- chicken breasts
- cooked long grain rice
- teriyaki sauce
- minced garlic
- sliced onion
- frozen or fresh veg
- tin sliced pineapple
- butter
- salt & pepper
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Flatten out the chicken breasts to make them thinner to allow for even cooking. marinade the chicken breasts in the teriyaki sauce.
Fry off the chicken breast on a medium heat in a frypan until cooked.
Slice the cooked chicken breast into strips.
Add the vegetables and chicken and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Fry off the garlic and onion in a frypan on medium heat for 2 minutes.
Add the cooked rice, pineapple, butter and sauce and fry off for a further 4 minutes.
Hint: It's best to use cooked rice that has been in the fridge for a few hours (even better if it's day old rice). If you don't have time, it's ok. It won't affect the flavour at all. Cold rice stops the rice from sticking and clumping together when cooking.
