Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight).
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (375°F).
- Remove chicken from marinade and discard excess marinade. Grill each piece for about 6-7 minutes per side until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- During the last minute of grilling, brush some reserved marinade onto the chicken for extra flavor. Garnish with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
