Thai Chicken and Pineapple Stir Fry Rice Bowl

This is simply one of the best Thai/Asian-inspired dishes I have made. It is so simple but the flavors are so delicious and I just truly enjoyed this dish a lot.

This rice bowl is all you will need to enjoy a delicious and satisfying supper. I served this dish with some fortune cookies on the side.
