Chicken Teriyaki Pineapple Vegetable Bowl
Back in the day, La Choy Chicken Teriyaki and Vegetables mixed with a bag of La Choy Chow Mein Noodles about once or twice a month. It was the seventies and folks were jazzed for their quick fix frozen and canned meals. And I will be honest, it was a change from meatloaf and spaghetti and my brother and I loved it. Having pineapple and chestnuts in anything felt so grown up for two Texas military brats.

This Chicken Teriyaki Pineapple Vegetable Bowl recipe is my version of that meal in a can from my childhood. Fresh pineapple, red onion, bright red bell pepper, and button mushrooms with a yummy organic teriyaki sauce. The chicken is the breast of rotisserie chicken and really works beautifully with this recipe.
I use a small fruit bowl to form the brown or white rice for presentation. When the veggies, pineapple, and chicken are finished I arrange them around the little rice mountain. The garnish with cilantro and the chow mein noodles.
It has the essence of my childhood treat but honestly just tastes loads better. Fresh pineapple always makes a dish sing.
For the Kids: Purchase beginner chopsticks and let them enjoy trying a new way to eat dinner. You can find them here.

- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks cut into bit-sized pieces.
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon pineapple juice (reserved from cut pineapple)
- 2 rotisserie chicken breast, bone and skin removed and slice about a 1/2 inch thick.

- Other garnishes: Cilantro and Chow mein noodles and half lemon for squeezing.
