Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Glaze

Juicy grilled chicken with a sweet and tangy pineapple glaze, perfect for a tropical-inspired meal.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 fresh pineapple, sliced into rings
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
  2. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade for the glaze. Place chicken in a resealable bag with the remaining marinade and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade.
  4. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Brush with reserved glaze during the last few minutes of cooking.
  5. Grill pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly charred. Serve chicken topped with grilled pineapple and chopped cilantro if desired.
