Start by making bowls: Slice the pineapple in half, leaving the stem intact.
And slice the fruit around the perimeters, angling your knife towards the middle, and make a few cuts across.
Next, scoop chunks out with a spoon and reserve about one tablespoon of pineapple juice for the sauce. Then chop pineapple into smaller pieces to garnish (or snack on) later.
Then make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic.
And season chicken all over with salt. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, then heat vegetable oil.
And add chicken in an even layer and cook until golden, about 3 minutes.
Then flip and cook until golden on the second side, about 4 minutes more. And pour sauce over the chicken then bring the mixture to a simmer.
Next, make slurry: Whisk together water and cornstarch, then stir into sauce.
Simmer until sauce is thickened and chicken is cooked through, 9 to 11 minutes more.
Then divide chicken and rice between bowls then garnish with chopped pineapple, green onions, and sesame seeds, if using.
