Description
A delicious and easy grilled chicken recipe with teriyaki flavors, served with grilled pineapple and rice.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 4 pineapple slices
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Fresh dill or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
-
Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
-
Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
-
Grill the Chicken and Pineapple: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place chicken and pineapple slices on the grill. Grill chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Grill pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, until grill marks appear.
-
Assemble the Stack: Place a scoop of cooked rice on a serving plate. Stack one grilled chicken thigh on top of the rice. Top with a grilled pineapple slice. Repeat the process if serving stacks.
-
Garnish and Serve: Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the stack. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Garnish with fresh dill or cilantro.
Notes
- For extra juiciness, do not skip the marination process.
- Keep an eye on the grill to prevent burning, as the sugar content in the marinade can cause the chicken and pineapple to char quickly.
- For a spicier twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
- Jasmine or basmati rice works well if you prefer a different variety.
