- 2 tbsp rice vinegar suggestion in post
- 1 tbsp sesame oil suggestion in post
- ¼ c brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp honey
- ¾ tsp ground ginger
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder
- 2 tsp water
- Remaining Meal Ingredients
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts or 6 chicken tenders
- 12 mini sweet peppers washed and left whole

Steps
- Preparing the Marinade
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add all of the marinade ingredients except the cornstarch and water.
- In a small cup combine the cornstarch and water. Mix well. Then add to the saucepan and incorporate well.
- Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Stir often. The sauce will continue to thicken. Remove from heat.
- If marinating for 2 hours or overnight, allow the sauce to cool. Then pour ¼ cup of the marinade into a gallon size Ziploc bag with the raw chicken and refrigerate.
- Refrigerate the remaining sauce to brush over the top of the chicken and pineapple.
- Grilling Guide
- Once the grill is heated to 350 to 450° F add the chicken. Brush the tops of the chicken with the teriyaki sauce mixture and grill 4 to 5 minutes. Then use tongs to flip the chicken.
- Brush the tops of chicken again with the sauce and cook until the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165° F. Flip the chicken again just to caramelize the sauce.
- Remove the chicken.
- Lightly brush oil over the mini sweet peppers.
- Add the pineapple rounds, mini sweet peppers, and optional red onion wedges to the grill. Brush the pineapple with the sauce mixture. Grill for about 2 minutes or until nice grill marks have formed.
- Flip and brush the top of the pineapple with the remaining sauce mixture. Grill for another 2 minutes until softened.
- Remove from the grill.
- Add rice, sliced chicken, pineapple rings, mini sweet peppers, and onion wedges to a plate. Top with garnishes and serve immediately.
- Place leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate up to two days. Reheat and enjoy.
