  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup fresh pineapple juice
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– Fresh pineapple slices (for grilling)
– Chopped green onions (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Glaze is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and ensure it’s evenly coated. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, allow the coals to become glowing red.
4. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Prepare Glaze: While the chicken is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
6. Grill Pineapple: Add fresh pineapple slices to the grill during the last few minutes of cooking the chicken. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and caramelized.
7. Glaze Chicken: Brush the thickened marinade over the chicken during the last minute of grilling. This will enhance the flavor and give an incredible shine to the chicken.
8. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill. Let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

By following these steps, you’ll create Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Glaze that is bursting with flavor and sure to impress anyone who tries it.
