Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.

  2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure each breast is coated evenly. Reserve the remaining marinade for later use.

  3. Marinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

  4. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates.

  5. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Discard the used marinade that the chicken was soaking in.

  6. Grill the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  7. While the chicken is grilling, place the pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized.

  8. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving as is.

  9. To serve, place the grilled chicken on a platter, top with the grilled pineapple slices, and drizzle with the reserved marinade.

  10. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
