Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Make the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken in a zip-top bag, pour the marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Grill the Chicken: Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove chicken from marinade and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through.
Grill Pineapple: Grill fresh pineapple rings for 2–3 minutes on each side until caramelized.
Make the Glaze: In a saucepan, boil reserved marinade for 5–6 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.
Assemble the Stack: Layer cooked rice, grilled chicken, caramelized pineapple onto the plate, drizzle with glaze, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For the best flavor, marinate chicken overnight and ensure it's cooked to 165°F for juiciness. Use fresh pineapple for grilling when possible.
