Bowls Archives

Perusing Pinterest for food ideas can be a dangerous thing for me. I love it when I come across something whimsical, so when I saw this idea for teriyaki chicken pineapple bowls I jumped on it. Sure, I could’ve made the chicken and served it with rice on a pretty white plate, drizzled it with a bit of soy sauce, and it would’ve been great. But, hey, serve it in a hollowed out pineapple and now you’re talking fru-fru fancy!

I added some of the pineapple pulp to the chicken as it cooked. You can also add some to the rice. Heck, you’ve got pineapple, why not use it? That’s part of what makes this Teriyaki chicken pineapple bowls so great.

Ingredients

1 large pineapple
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound chicken thighs boneless skinless, cut into 1-inch pieces
¾ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup honey
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups rice cooked, divided

Instructions

Cut pineapple in half, lengthwise.
Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh of each half, leaving about a half-inch on the sides to make sure the pineapple boats are sturdy.
Discard the flesh or set it aside to eat later, and drain any juices.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Add the chicken thighs and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes.
Add soy sauce, brown sugar, and honey, and stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thick and the chicken is cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes.
Add the sesame seeds and stir to combine, then remove the pan from the heat.
Scoop a cup of rice into each of the pineapple boats, then divide the teriyaki chicken among the boats and serve.

In the picture on the left are some of my Fiesta fruit bowls that measure 4 3/4 inches across. They were first produced by the Homer Laughlin China Company in 1935 and ended in 1960. The fruit bowls on the right measure 5 1/2 inches across and were produced in 1937 through 1959. They are sometimes referred to as “oatmeal” bowls. In the middle are my Fiesta Deep Plates also known as a soup plate or rimmed soup. Production began in 1936 and ended in 1969.
