Well .. because it’s super easy! This chicken teriyaki pineapples bowl recipes uses a small amount of lite pancake syrup in place of any granular sugars or sugar replacements. It’s also delicious and can be used with chicken, beef, turkey or even steak. The sauce is a play on my Air Fryer Teriyaki Chicken chicken.
Absolutely! Use ground turkey, chicken, beef, pork or sliced beef. Brown the meat through and set aside while you make the sauce, or make the chicken teriyaki pineapple bowl sauce in a separate pan and combine once thickened. If you use a flank steak I would suggest marinating it in some coconut aminos and lime juice for at least 30 minutes prior to using to tenderize it.
Tapioca flour is flavorless and mixes quickly unlike all-purpose flour which needs to cook a little longer to get rid of the powder-like texture. Tapioca flour is also gluten free. For this recipe we are using a tapioca flour slurry to thicken the the chicken teriyaki pineapple bowl sauce at the end. You can also use cornstarch or any other thickener you’d like.
Sure is! This chicken teriyaki pineapple bowl recipe is both dairy free and gluten free. It is kept gluten free by using the tapioca flour to thicken at the end.
Omit the basmati rice and double the cauliflower rice for added volume and lower carbs. Some carbs also come from the pineapple but I would personally rather omit the rice than the pineapple since they add a terrific sweetness to the chicken teriyaki pineapple bowl.
These are the main ingredients and substitutions. See recipe card below for full ingredients list and instructions for the Chicken Teriyaki Pineapple Bowl recipe.
Chicken Breast: this recipe uses 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breast chopped into bite size pieces. You can use ground meat like turkey, beef or pork or sliced beef for this recipe. Cook the meat prior to adding to the sauce.
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce: using Coconut Aminos, which is far less salty than Soy Sauce, maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger and garlic you’ll have a delicious homemade sauce for this recipe in minutes.
Cauliflower Basmati Blend: this recipe blends riced cauliflower and one bag or ready rice basmati for a hidden vegetable rice blend while also adding volume to your bowls.
Pineapple: this recipe uses one 8 oz. can of chopped pineapple, drained. You can also use fresh, drained yields ~ 4.9 oz. of pineapple chunks.
Tapioca Flour: to thicken the sauce at the end we are using a tapioca flour slurry. You can substitute with a cornstarch of flour slurry.
Topping Ideas: top these noodles with green onions, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes for some spice.
There are two ways to cook the chicken. First prep it by cutting it into bite size pieces and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Option 1: add to a pre-heated air fryer and cook at 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes.
Option 2: add to a pan over medium heat and brown on all sides until cooked through and no longer pink inside. Remove from the pan to make the sauce or make sauce in a separate pan.
Add all sauce ingredients except the tapioca flour and water to a sealed container and shake. Pour in a pan over medium heat and simmer while whisking.
Add the tapioca flour and water to a small bowl to form a slurry. Pour into the sauce and continue cooking until it thickens.
Cook the cauliflower and basmati rice according to the package instructions. Add to a bowl to mix together with 2 chopped green onions.
Once the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, using tongs add the chicken to the sauce being sure to not add any of the liquid from the chicken. Stir to combine and cover the chicken.
