Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken is a delicious dish that combines the flavors of sweet and savory teriyaki sauce with the tropical flair of Hawaiian cuisine.
Here’s a simple recipe for you to enjoy: Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 cup teriyaki sauce 1/4 cup pineapple juice 1/4 cup brown sugar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon grated ginger 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening) Pineapple slices (fresh or canned), for serving Sliced green onions, for garnish Cooked white rice, for serving
Instructions: Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the marinade. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, turning occasionally to ensure even marination. Cook the chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Alternatively, you can bake the chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, you can prepare the teriyaki sauce by simmering the leftover marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat. If desired, you can thicken the sauce by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stirring it into the simmering sauce until thickened.
Serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, transfer it to a serving platter. Brush the cooked chicken with the prepared teriyaki sauce and garnish with pineapple slices and sliced green onions.
Serve the Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken hot with cooked white rice on the side. Enjoy the delicious flavors of Hawaiian-style teriyaki chicken! It’s perfect for a weeknight dinner or for entertaining guests with a taste of the tropics.
