Chicken, Pineapple, and Peppers w/Rice

So we ended up leaving work pretty late today and got home an hour and a half later than normal.  Once we got home I remembered we were out of propane so I could not use the grill for our meal.  Rather than take the time to drive to the nearest Walgreens (literally about 2 - 3 minutes away) I just decided to throw everything in the pan on the stove.  It was still pretty tasty but I almost always prefer the grill to stove top cooking.  Luke and I both cleaned our plates though, if that tells you anything.  :)  I don't really have a recipe, but here goes.

Ingredients:
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
- 1 red belpepper, cut into chunks
- 1 small onion, cut into chunks
- 1 can pineapple chunks (in juice, not syrup)
- 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 or 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Cooked white rice


Directions:
- Marinate the chunks of chicken breast in the 1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce.  I normally do this the night before but since I didn't prepare last night the chicken only marinated for about 20 minutes tonight.  
- While the chicken is marinating, splash a tbsp or two of soy sauce into a hot saucepan (you need a pretty big one) and toss in the belpepper and onion.  Simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Add the chicken to the pan and simmer on  medium high heat for about 20 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Add the pineapple chunks (some of the juice will inevitably still be in the can but that is ok) and stir.
-Put the lid on the pan and simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes or so.
- Serve with white rice

Like I said, I normally prefer this meal cooked on the grill on skewers because I like my veggies nice and crunchy.  This method of cooking it was almost like a stir fry but it was pretty tasty. We are all taking leftovers for lunch tomorrow too.
