Ingredients

For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
Pineapple Teriayakai Sauce:
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  3. Thicken the Sauce: Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush chicken with vegetable oil or olive oil. Grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear.

  5. Glaze and Serve: Reduce heat to low. Spoon pineapple teriayakai sauce over grilled chicken, allowing it to simmer in the sauce for a minute or two before serving. Garnish with fresh pineapple slices if desired.
