Tips:
- Use day-old rice for the best results. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
- If you don't have cooked chicken, you can use other cooked protein, such as shrimp, beef, or tofu.

- If you don't have pineapple chunks, you can use canned pineapple tidbits.
- Serve the fried rice immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
