Hawaiian Style Teriyaki Chicken

 Last night we saw Chef Henry feature this recipe on YouTube.

2lbs chicken

1 pineapple cut up, 1/2 cup juices reserved for marinade 

1/2 cup brown sugar

1cup soy sauce

2 garlic cloves 

1tsp fresh grated ginger

Scallions chopped 

Chef Henry first washes the chicken breasts with water and vinegar or lime juice. I used lime juice. 

Season the chicken with “meat seasoning” and “chicken seasoning”. I’m not sure what those are so use whatever seasoning you’d like. I used Weber Roasted Garlic & Herb. 

Combine marinade ingredients and add with chicken to a gallon zip bag and refrigerate 24 hours. Save pineapple pieces for later. 

Oil bottom of heavy pan and cook chicken on both sides until done. He suggests 10 min per side but I think that’s too much. Use discretion. 

Set chicken aside to rest and add the marinade and cook down to thicken. Add a slurry of corn starch and water to help thicken. Add the pineapple bits to the sauce and cook to soften a bit. 

Slice chicken and add to sauce for 5 min. 

Serve with rice and garnish with scallions.
