How to Make a Sesame Ginger Chicken Dinner You Can Eat out of a Pineapple

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at UIUC chapter.

This recipe came about during the heart of winter. The snow was blowing sideways and teleporting to the Tropics didn’t exactly go as planned. I decided to buy a pineapple and go full tropical. This happened. My roommates approved.

Feel free to mix and match with veggies and serve with any flavor of rice that you desire. I also recommend a stiff daiquiri on the side – Look at you, halfway to vacation already.

    Cook down the veggies until the broccoli has softened. Cut pineapple in half, scoop out one side and cut into chunks, save for later. Add in ginger and pineapple chunks.
