2 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
1 cup diced pineapple (fresh)

3. Add the cooked jasmine rice to the pan, followed by the soy sauce, fish sauce, and Sriracha sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
4. Return the cooked chicken to the pan and mix everything together. Add the green onions and chopped cilantro, and stir for another 2 minutes.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with lime wedges.
Store leftover fried rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
To reheat, place the fried rice in a microwave-safe dish and heat on medium power for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat it in a pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until hot.
