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.
