Instructions

Prepare the pineapple by slicing off the top and scooping out the flesh. Cut the flesh into chunks for later use.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, water, brown sugar, ginger powder, rice vinegar, cornstarch, minced garlic, and reserved pineapple chunks.
Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken and simmer for 10 minutes until thickened.
Serve over cooked rice in the pineapple boats, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
