Hawaiian Inspired Teriyaki Chicken 🍍

Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs breasts, or tenders
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple juice
  • 1 cup coconut aminos tamari, Braggs liquid aminos, or low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup raw honey
  • 6 fresh garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tsp chili flakes or to taste

optional:

  • sesame seeds
  • lime wedges
  • fresh pineapple for serving

Instructions

  • Trim excess fat from your chicken and chop them into small bite sized pieces, season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
  • In a large glass bowl, combine the pineapple juice, coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Whisk to incorporate everything well.
  • Add in your chicken pieces, toss to coat, and make sure they're mostly submerged in this marinade.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking.
  • Transfer to a large heavy-bottom skillet and place over high heat.
  • Cook uncovered, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened, coating the pieces of chicken. Make sure you keep an eye on it, because the honey caramelizes and easily burns suddenly.
  • Garnish with chopped fresh pineapple and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with lime wedges.
  • Enjoy!
