Description
A delicious and flavorful Hawaiian dish featuring grilled chicken marinated in teriyaki sauce and served with caramelized pineapple.
Ingredients
Scale
- 680 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 120 ml low-sodium teriyaki sauce
- 80 ml pure pineapple juice (no added sugar)
- 60 ml low-sodium or naturally brewed soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 fresh pineapple rings
- Cooked white rice, for stacking
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions, for garnish
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil until combined.
- Place chicken pieces in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving the excess. Grill chicken for 6–7 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly charred.
- Place pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until caramelized with visible grill marks.
- Transfer reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5–6 minutes until reduced to a thick, glossy glaze. Remove from heat.
- Spoon cooked white rice onto serving plates. Arrange slices of grilled chicken over rice, top with a caramelized pineapple ring, and drizzle with the marinade glaze. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Adjust the sweetness of the marinade by altering the amount of brown sugar.
