Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons grated ginger root

- ¼ cup water
- 1 ½ cups uncooked Minute® instant white rice

- ½ teaspoon salt
Directions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray.
- Make teriyaki glaze by mixing brown sugar, soy sauce, gingerroot, garlic and pepper flakes in 8-inch nonstick skillet.
- Stir over medium heat until sugar is melted.
- In small bowl, beat cornstarch and water; add to soy mixture.
- Cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture starts to simmer and has thickened.
- Cool slightly; reserve 2 tablespoons glaze in small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
- Mix rice, pineapple, bell pepper, 3 tablespoons of the onions and the broth in baking dish.
- Season both sides of chicken with salt; brush with 2 tablespoons of the unrefrigerated glaze.
- Stir remaining unrefrigerated glaze into rice mixture; place chicken on top of rice.
- Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Serve topped with reserved 2 tablespoons refrigerated glaze and remaining 1 tablespoon green onions.
Tips
- Minute® Rice is a parboiled style of rice which yields the best results for an oven casserole.
- Fresh pineapple can be substituted for canned pineapple in this recipe. Use 1 cup of pineapple, and increase broth to 1 3/4 cups.
- The size of the boneless chicken breast (5oz) in this recipe is critical for accurate cooking times and doneness. Always measure the internal temperature (165°F) to ensure chicken is completely cooked without sacrificing moisture.
