Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (or canned)
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
– 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating the Best Chicken Chops with Pineapple is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, black pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill or Skillet: Heat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.
4. Cook Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
5. Add Pineapple: In the last few minutes of cooking, add the pineapple chunks to the grill or skillet. Grill them until they are caramelized and heated through.
6. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and pineapple, and add the remaining marinade to the skillet. Mix with cornstarch and cook until thickened.
7. Serve: Place the chicken chops on a serving platter, top with grilled pineapple, and drizzle with the thickened sauce if desired.
8. Garnish: Finish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
