Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
- 1 Small Sauce Pan
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Medium Mixing Bowl
- 4 Lunch Containers
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups Jasmine Rice
- 2 cups Shredded Cabbage
- 2 cups Pineapple Tidbits
Maple Soy Glaze
- 1/2 cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup
- 4 tbsp Low Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tsp Garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Ginger, minced
- Salt & Pepper
Instructions
- Whisk your maple syrup, Dijon, garlic and ginger.
- Cut your chicken into pieces (can leave whole too) and season with salt & pepper.
- Mix your chicken with half of your marinade and marinate for at least 20 minutes. Can be up to 2 hours.
- Once your chicken is marinated, air fry at 400 for 20 minutes; flipping multiple times during the cooking process. You will need to do this in two batches.
- Cook your rice if you are using a rice cooker. I used Trader Joes microwaveable jasmin rice.
- Once your chicken is cooked, add it all to a bowl and set aside.
- Put your pineapple into the air fryer to caramelize. This is optional but I love the taste.
- Pour your other half of the marinade in a sauce pan and simmer until it thickens slightly.
- Once sauce is thickened, pour over your chicken and mix to coat.
- Mix your cabbage and pineapple.
- Assemble your bowls and enjoy!
