This grilled Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken Stack layers charred, sweet-and-salty chicken over steaming rice with a caramelized pineapple crown.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (organic or air-chilled preferred)
  • ½ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
  • ⅓ cup pure pineapple juice (no sugar added)
  • ¼ cup low-sodium or naturally brewed soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
  • 2 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 fresh pineapple rings
  • Cooked white rice (for stacking)
  • 2 tbsp sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk teriyaki, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until sugar dissolves to make the marinade.
  2. Place chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for best flavor).
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high, oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve the liquid) and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through (165°F/74°C), then let rest for 5 minutes and slice.
  5. Add pineapple rings to the grill and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
  6. Pour the reserved marinade into a saucepan and bring to a rolling boil for 5–6 minutes until reduced to a glossy glaze.
  7. Assemble the stack by spooning hot rice on plates, topping with sliced grilled chicken, grilled pineapple, and drizzling with glaze. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
