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
Prepare the Chicken: Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
Make the Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
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.
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.
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.
