Step 1

Gather all ingredients: bell peppers, chicken, rice, pineapple, teriyaki sauce, olive oil, garlic, green onions, salt, and pepper.

Step 2

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Cut tops off bell peppers and remove seeds.

For best results

• For extra char, brush peppers with a little olive oil before air frying.
• Use leftover rice to save time; day-old rice works best.
• If using canned pineapple, drain well to avoid excess moisture.

Variations

• Substitute chicken with tofu or shrimp for a different protein.
• Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or red pepper flakes before serving.
• Use brown rice or cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
