This Pineapple Teriyaki Grilled Chicken recipe offers a quick, healthy, and delicious dinner option. Featuring a flavorful marinade of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar, the chicken is perfectly grilled and topped with caramelized pineapple slices and fresh green onions for a tropical twist.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 6 ounces pineapple juice (1 can)
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Main

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • Pineapple slices (optional, for grilling and topping)
  • Chopped green onion (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Stir well until the brown sugar is fully dissolved and all ingredients are mixed.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the boneless, skinless chicken breast halves into the bowl with the marinade. Ensure each piece is well coated with the mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; for best flavor, marinate for about 8 hours.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, preparing it for cooking the chicken and pineapple slices.
  4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the hot grill. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until they are just cooked through and have nice grill marks.
  5. Grill the Pineapple Slices: While the chicken is cooking, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Grill each side for 1 to 2 minutes until grill marks appear and the pineapple caramelizes slightly.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Remove the grilled chicken and pineapple slices from the grill. Place one slice of grilled pineapple on top of each chicken breast. Garnish with chopped green onions for added color and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your tropical teriyaki grilled chicken!

Notes

  • Marinating the chicken longer, up to 8 hours, enhances the flavor and tenderness.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can also cook the chicken and pineapple on a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Use reduced sodium soy sauce to control the saltiness of the marinade.
  • Optional toppings such as chopped green onions add freshness and color.
  • Pair this dish with steamed rice or a light salad for a complete meal.
