Preparation

Marinade Preparation

1. Prepare the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

2. Marinate the Chicken

Place the boneless chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Cooking the Chicken

3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Cook the Chicken

Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill or cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Serving Preparation

5. Prepare the Rice

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the cooked white rice according to package instructions.

6. Chop the Green Onions

Thinly slice the green onions and set aside for garnish.

7. Plate the Dish

Once the chicken is cooked, slice it into strips. Serve it over a bed of cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro.

Optional Toppings

8. Add Optional Toppings

If desired, top with sliced fresh pineapple, chopped macadamia nuts, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce to taste.
