Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together low-sodium teriyaki sauce, pure pineapple juice, gluten-free soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil. Add the boneless, skinless chicken to the marinade, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight.
  2. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 375°F to 400°F). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled.
  3. Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Place the chicken on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F.
  4. Add fresh pineapple rings to the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they become lightly caramelized and golden.
  5. In a small saucepan, pour in the reserved marinade from the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 5-6 minutes until thickened.
  6. To serve, place a bed of fluffy white rice on each plate, top with the grilled chicken and caramelized pineapple rings, drizzle the thickened marinade, and sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds.
