Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is nearly cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

02

Step

In a separate small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the bell pepper and onion squares and cook until the edges of the peppers are tender (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat.

03

Step

In the skillet with the chicken, combine the teriyaki sauce, chicken broth, chopped sweet onion, and garlic powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half and the chicken is fully cooked (about 15-20 minutes).

04

Step

Stir in the bell pepper-onion mixture, cashew pieces, and hot sauce. Simmer until heated through (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and gently stir in the thawed pineapple chunks.

05

Step

Arrange the Swiss cheese slices over the chicken mixture. Let the cheese melt slightly from the residual heat before serving.

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in a portion of the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference for spice.
Serve over jasmine or basmati rice to complement the flavors of the dish.
Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds for an elegant presentation.
