Ingredients
Method
Make the glaze
- In a bowl, mix together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze. Whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is well combined.
Marinate the chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour in most of the glaze, reserving about 2–3 tablespoons for finishing. Marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator (up to 2 hours). Pat chicken dry before cooking to encourage browning.
Cook the chicken
- Grill the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6–7 minutes on each side (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Alternatively, sear in an oiled skillet, basting with reserved glaze in the final minute.
Sauté the vegetables
- In a separate pan, heat a splash of oil and sauté the bell peppers and snap peas over medium-high heat until tender-crisp (about 3–5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper; a squeeze of lime brightens the vegetables.
Assemble the bowls
- Serve the grilled chicken sliced over a bed of rice, topped with the sautéed vegetables and a drizzle of any remaining glaze warmed slightly. Spoon glaze sparingly to avoid a soggy base.
Garnish and enjoy
- Garnish with chopped green onion and optional sesame seeds or toasted coconut.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes and be careful not to overcrowd the grill or pan.
