Ingredients
  

For the Rice

For the Chicken & Marinade

  • ¾ cup Pineapple Juice Fresh juice brings the best flavor.
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce Substitute with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free.
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar Use honey or maple syrup for a natural alternative.
  • 2 teaspoons Ginger Fresh ginger is best, but ground can work.
  • 3 cloves Garlic Fresh garlic is ideal; powdered is suitable too.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
For the Toppings
  • 4 rings Pineapple Rings Use fresh for the best taste.
  • 3 tablespoons Green Onions Provides crunchy freshness.
  • 1 tablespoon Chili Rings Adds a spicy kick.

Method
 

Directions
  1. Rinse jasmine rice under cold water and combine with water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15 minutes. Fluff and set aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Reserve half for basting.
  3. Marinate chicken in the remaining marinade for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, grill each side for 5-7 minutes, basting occasionally.
  5. While chicken is grilling, grill pineapple rings for 2-3 minutes per side until charred.
  6. To serve, layer jasmine rice, grilled chicken, caramelized pineapple, and garnish with green onions, chili rings, and sesame seeds.
