We started this delicious recipe by heating up the oil in a skillet. Then continue by adding the chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper and cooking until chicken is done then set aside.
In a small mixing bowl whisk together pineapple juice, crushed pineapple, lemon juice, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, cornstarch, and sriracha. Stir in the honey lemon sauce until the chicken is evenly coated, and cook. Portion the rice, vegetables, and chicken evenly between each bowl. Top with sesame seeds and serve, enjoy!
