Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low sodium soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and diced Fresno chile pepper. This mixture will be the star of your dish, so make sure it’s well combined!
  2. Step 2: Heat the Skillet. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken, seasoned with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Add the Sauce. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly and allow it to simmer for about 3-4 minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
  4. Step 4: Cook the Broccoli. While the chicken is simmering, add the broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir to combine, and let them cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender-crisp.
  5. Step 5: Add Pineapple. In the last minute of cooking, add the pineapple half moons to the skillet. Toss gently to heat through and allow the pineapple to caramelize slightly.
  6. Step 6: Serve It Up. Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds. Serve your teriyaki chicken and broccoli over a bed of rice, garnished with lime wedges and fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Notes
