Ingredients

1 cup BBQ sauce

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons sesame oil

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 heaping teaspoon minced fresh ginger

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 green onions, thinly sliced

3 cups cooked long grain white rice

Directions

Combine BBQ sauce, ½ cup of pineapple juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger in a small bowl. Measure out and reserve ½ cup of the marinade for later. Pour remaining sauce over chicken in a plastic storage bag. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.

Grill, basting with reserved sauce during last 5 minutes of cooking time. Continue cooking until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Brush both sides of pineapple slices with vegetable oil and add to the grill towards the end of the cooking time. Cook about 2 minutes per side, or until slightly softened and nice grill marks appear.

Garnish grilled chicken with green onions and serve over rice.

Notes

I used canned pineapple juice but also grilled some fresh pineapple as a side dish. Jill, I and Hudson all thought this was excellent.

Need 1/2 lb chicken breast per person.
