Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Sliced pineapple rings for topping
  • Chopped green onions for garnish
  • Cooked white rice for serving

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to make the marinade.
  2. Step 2: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off. Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked.
  5. Step 5: While grilling, occasionally baste the chicken with the reserved marinade, but stop basting during the last few minutes of cooking to avoid cross-contamination.
  6. Step 6: Grill the pineapple rings for about 2 minutes per side until they are caramelized and have grill marks.
  7. Step 7: Remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  8. Step 8: Serve the grilled chicken over a bed of white rice, topped with grilled pineapple rings and garnished with chopped green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar.
