Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger; whisk well to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove chicken from marinade and season with salt and pepper. Reserve the marinade.
- Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- During the last 5 minutes of grilling, add pineapple chunks to the grill and cook until caramelized.
- While grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes to use as a glaze.
- Brush the cooked chicken with the reduced marinade glaze, then remove from grill.
- Serve chicken topped with grilled pineapple chunks and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
For extra flavor, serve with coconut rice or a fresh mango salsa to enhance the tropical theme.
