Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken Stack

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (organic or air-chilled preferred)
  • ½ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • ⅓ cup pure pineapple juice (no sugar added)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium or naturally brewed soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 fresh pineapple rings
  • Cooked white rice (for stacking)
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Marinade:In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  2. Marinate the Chicken:Place chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for max flavor).
  3. Grill the Chicken:Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade), and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through and charred.
  4. Grill Pineapple:Add pineapple rings to the grill. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
  5. Make the Glaze:In a small saucepan, boil reserved marinade for 5–6 minutes until thickened into a glossy sauce.
  6. Assemble the Stack:Spoon rice onto a plate, layer with grilled chicken, top with a grilled pineapple ring, then drizzle with glaze. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
