Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups cooked white rice, for serving

Directions

1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.

4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
5. While the chicken is grilling, grill the pineapple slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until slightly caramelized.
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled Hawaiian chicken over a bed of cooked white rice and top with a grilled pineapple slice. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
8. Enjoy the taste of Hawaii!
