Delicious Grilled Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

This recipe features marinated chicken breasts grilled to perfection and topped with caramelized pineapple slices. The combination of savory and sweet flavors creates a delightful meal that serves 4 people and takes about 30 minutes to prepare.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup fresh pineapple, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ginger powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Grill the Pineapple: During the last few minutes of grilling the chicken, add the pineapple slices to the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until grill marks appear and the pineapple is caramelized.
Serve: Remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill. Slice the chicken and serve topped with grilled pineapple, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
