Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts or Thighs
- 0.5 cup Low-Sodium Teriyaki Sauce
- 0.33 cup Pure Pineapple Juice
- 0.25 cup Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
- 3 tbsp Dark Brown Sugar
- 2 large Garlic Cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp Freshly Grated Ginger
- 1 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
- 4 pieces Fresh Pineapple Rings
- Cooked White Rice
- 2 tbsp Sliced Green Onions
- 1 tsp Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Whisk together the low-sodium teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl.
- Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (165°F internal temperature).
- Add fresh pineapple rings to the grill for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize.
- Serve the grilled chicken over cooked white rice, topped with grilled pineapple, green onions, and sesame seeds.
Notes
For even deeper flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. Use fresh pineapple for better caramelization.
