Sweet & Spicy Pineapple Chicken Bowls

Can you cook pineapple chicken on a Blackstone griddle? Absolutely! The Blackstone is perfect for searing chicken, caramelizing pineapple, and cooking vegetables on the same surface.

Are pineapple chicken bowls egg-free? This recipe uses no eggs, but check the labels on your sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and other packaged ingredients if avoiding eggs due to an allergy.

Can I use canned pineapple instead of fresh? Yes! Just drain it thoroughly before adding it to the griddle. Fresh pineapple tends to hold its shape a little better, but canned pineapple works great too.

Ingredients

Chicken & Vegetables
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced
2 tbsp avocado oil
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
3 cups cooked white rice
Sweet & Spicy Glaze
¼ cup sweet chili sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp sriracha (optional, for extra heat)

Directions

1. Prep Everything! Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, slice your peppers and onion, and prepare the pineapple. Mix the sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, and sriracha in a small bowl.
2. Fire Up the Blackstone! Preheat your griddle over medium-high heat. Add a light coating of avocado oil.
3. Cook the Chicken. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on the griddle for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
4. Bring On the Veggies! Add the peppers and onions to another section of the griddle. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened with a little char.
5. Caramelize That Pineapple! Add the pineapple chunks to the griddle. Let them sit briefly before turning so those natural sugars develop a beautiful golden color.
6. Sauce It Up! Combine the chicken, vegetables, and pineapple. Reduce the heat and pour the sweet and spicy glaze over everything. Toss for 1–2 minutes until coated and heated through.
7. Build Those Bowls! Spoon the chicken and pineapple mixture over warm white rice. Drizzle with any remaining glaze and enjoy!

🔥 Bright Spots Pro Tip

Don't rush the pineapple!
Let those pineapple chunks sit on the hot griddle long enough to develop a little caramelization before flipping them. That golden sear brings out their natural sweetness and adds a whole new layer of flavor!
