That is why cooking chicken stir-fry the Traeger is one of the best ways of preparing this meal.
Cooking this recipe on my Traeger grill gives it a unique flavor that is textures and tastes cannot be compared with stove-top cooking. The high heat is useful in sealing the chicken and vegetables so that they maintain their fresh texture and crispness. That is why I love cooking with the Traeger; I easily regulate the cooking temperature for well-done rice or perfectly stir-fried vegetables in my backyard kitchen.
Step-by-Step
Marinate the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the wrapping and then place the cubes in a medium bowl. Add half part of the reserve of Select Sesame and Ginger Teriyaki marinade over the chicken and mix. By this time the tortillas should be warm then cover with a plastic wrap and placy for almost 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Prepare the Vegetables: Take what is remaining of the teriyaki marinade and pour it over the Fresh Cut vegetable kit. Shake the container to make sure that the lid covers all of the food it must coat. As the vegetables are marinating, it is also important to warm the grill on the other hand.
Make the Pineapple Bowls: Remove the crown and the tail of the pine apple then divide it in half vertically. Cut a hole in the middle of the fruit then pull out its flesh to make two halves. Chop ½ cup of the pineapple nice and small and keep aside for use later.
Cook the Brown Rice: Essentially, in a rice steamer or instantly cooker, place 2 cups of brown rice, and 2 cups of water. Bring to the high pressure cook for 15 minutes, after which release the pressure and the mash should be forked.
Heat the Grill: The next preparation you need to make is to warm your outside grill or griddle to medium high heat.
Stir-Fry Time: Coat the griddle with a non-stick spray. Remove the chicken and vegetables from the marinade and place them separately on the oiled griddle. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F, and cook the vegetables until they are crisp-tender, which takes about 10 minutes.
Combine Ingredients: Heat up the chicken and vegetables in the griddle adding soy sauce on top depending on the preference. Finally fold in the chopped pineapple kept aside and continue to cook for further 2 minutes.
Assemble the Bowls: Take the brown rice and scoop it inside the pineapple bowls and fill it up to halfway. Frequently pour over with the chicken and vegetable stir-fry, sweet chili sauce and/or garlic chili crunch. Serving suggestion – Sieve the sesame seeds before garnishing the dish to ensure a smooth finish before serving.
MAKING THE BOWLS
Using bowls from a whole pineapple is not only more entertaining and different than just scooping your Chicken Stir Fry out of a serving bowl, but it also bring the island atmosphere to your home, your family and your guests. Let’s begin by cutting the whole pineapple vertically in the middle to make two halves but ensure that you have a sharp knife to make a clean incision.
Then use a sharp knife to slash the flesh of each half without damaging the skin of the pumpkin halves. This will make it easier for you to scoop the fruit as shown below.
With the spoon scoop out the flesh starting from as far as you can reach until the process reveals enough pineapple at the edges to support bowls. So, do not discard the diced pineapple chunks for a stir fry or even a fruit salad as they taste sweet that goes well with the savory chicken and the vegetables.
