Ingredients for the Marinade:

• 1 T. sesame oil
• 1 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 2 T. brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 c. soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
• 1/2 c. pineapple juice
• 1 c. teriyaki sauce

Ingredients:

• 1 ripe pineapple, cut into circles
• 4 chicken thighs or breasts, boneless & skinless
• Green onions, chopped (optional garnish)
• Toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)
• 1 c. cooked rice (or cauliflower rice)

Directions:

1. Add all of the Marinade ingredients in a zipper bag & mix together until well combined. Add the chicken thighs or chicken breasts to the Marinade & make sure that all sides are well coated. Seal the bag & chill it for at least 2 hours (or overnight). Letting the chicken stay in the Marinade all night makes the flavor even better! Pull the chicken out of the fridge early enough so that it is not cold & so that it cooks more evenly.
2. Put the pineapple rings on a medium-high grill & cook on each side for 2-3 minutes. Then take them off of the grill when they are charred & smell sweet. Set them aside.
3. Take the chicken out from the Marinade, but keep the leftover liquid aside to brush it on the chicken while grilling it. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, brushing with the extra Marinade now & then. Take it off once it is cooked through & is 165°F on the thickest part of the inside.
4. Stack the chicken thighs or chicken breasts on top of a bed of rice (or cauliflower rice). Add a slice of pineapple to the top of the chicken thigh or chicken breast.
5. Garnish with the green onions (optional) & sesame seeds (optional)!
