Instructions
Make the Hawaiian Sauce
Whisk together soy sauce and honey in a small bowl until smooth. This simple two-ingredient sauce is the key to the sweet and savory Hawaiian flavor kids love.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil and cook the diced chicken for 7 to 8 minutes stirring occasionally until golden brown and cooked through completely.
Add Pineapple and Sauce
Add the pineapple chunks and corn to the pan followed by the honey soy sauce. Stir everything together and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce reduces slightly and coats the chicken.
Build the Bowls
Scoop cooked white rice into bowls and top generously with the saucy Hawaiian chicken and pineapple mixture. Serve warm and garnish with extra pineapple if desired.
