Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Hawaiian
Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts; 1 cup pineapple juice; 1/4 cup soy sauce; 2 tablespoons brown sugar; 1 tablespoon rice vinegar; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 teaspoon ginger, grated; 1 jalapeno, thinly sliced (seeds removed for less heat); 1 tablespoon cornstarch; 2 tablespoons water; Pineapple chunks and sliced green onions for garnish; Cooked rice for serving

Instructions

In a bowl, mix the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and jalapeno. This will be your marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally overnight for the flavors to develop.
Heat a grilling pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the excess liquid.
Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and nicely charred. You can also grill the chicken on an outdoor grill for that extra smoky flavor.
While the chicken is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with water until smooth and add it to the saucepan.
Bring the marinade to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. This will create a delicious glaze for your chicken.
Once the chicken is cooked, brush it with the thickened sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
Slice the chicken breasts and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with pineapple chunks and sliced green onions for a pop of color and extra freshness.
Serve the Hawaiian Style Chili Chicken hot over a bed of fluffy rice. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors in every bite.
