• Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 teaspoons olive oil.
• Add 1 pound chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Sear it for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is almost cooked through.
• Add diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until it's softened.
• Add pineapple chunks and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
• Add the sauce mixture to the pan, stir everything and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

DUMP-AND-BAKE ALOHA CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
• In the prepared dish (or in a separate bowl), whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and chicken broth. Add uncooked rice, onion, bell pepper, and pineapple (with its juice).
• Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Uncover the dish and use a fork to fluff the rice. At this point, the rice should be almost tender and most of the liquid in the dish should be absorbed. If the rice is still very firm, or if there's still a lot of sauce in the dish, cover and return it to the oven for 5-10 more minutes, or until the rice is just about done.
• Stir in the cooked chicken. Sprinkle the cooked, chopped bacon on top.
• Return the dish to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is warmed through, the rice is completely tender, and the bacon is crispy.
• Garnish with chopped green onions, chives, or herbs, if desired.
