Ingredients
 
 

For the sauce

  • ½ cup gluten free tamari
  • ½ cup honey
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 Tablespoon brown sugar
  • 4 green onions white and green parts, sliced
  • pinch of red pepper flakes more if you want it spicy!

Instructions
 

  • Place the chicken breasts in a large pot with enough water to cover them. Place the lid on the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees.
  • Remove chicken from pan and set aside to cool. Once cool, use your hands or two forks to shred the chicken,
  • While the chicken cooks, make the rice: Place the cup of organic long grain white rice, 1 ½ cups water, and 2 teaspoons olive oil in a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until rice is fluffy and tender, about 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the sliced onion, red pepper, and 1 ½ Tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Cook over medium low heat until tender and lightly caramelized, about 30 minutes.
  • Once the chicken, rice, and veggies are done, make the sauce. Combine the tamari, honey, pineapple juice, ginger, and brown sugar in a small sauce pan. Heat over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Let cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the red pepper flakes.
  • In a large bowl, place the rice, shredded chicken, and onions and peppers. Pour the sauce over the top and stir to combine.
  • Sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top and serve immediately. If you are able to have sesame seeds, you can top each bowl with a few.

Notes

Leftovers should stay good in the refrigerator for up to three days.
