Description
This Hawaiian Huli Huli Chicken Stack is a juicy, smoky-sweet masterpiece stacked high with teriyaki-marinated chicken, caramelized pineapple, and fluffy white rice. A tropical-inspired dinner that’s easy enough for weeknights but fancy enough to impress!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (organic or air-chilled preferred)
- ½ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
- â…“ cup pure pineapple juice (no sugar added)
- ¼ cup low-sodium or naturally brewed soy sauce
- 3 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 4 fresh pineapple rings
- Cooked white rice (for stacking)
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions (for garnish)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
2. Place chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over it, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, reserving marinade, and grill for 6–7 minutes per side until cooked through and lightly charred.
4. Add pineapple rings to the grill and cook 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
5. Pour reserved marinade into a small saucepan and boil for 5–6 minutes until thickened into a glossy glaze.
6. Spoon cooked white rice onto plates, top with grilled chicken and a grilled pineapple ring, then drizzle with glaze.
7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
No grill? Use a stovetop grill pan or bake the chicken at 400°F for 20–25 minutes.
For extra heat, add sriracha or crushed red pepper flakes to the marinade.
Perfect for meal prep—store chicken and pineapple separately and assemble fresh when serving.
