Description

A delicious and easy grilled chicken recipe with teriyaki flavors, served with grilled pineapple and rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.
