Hawaiian Inspired Teriyaki Chicken 🍍

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

Directions

  1. 1

    Trim excess fat from your chicken and chop them into small bite sized pieces, season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a large glass bowl, combine the pineapple juice, coconut aminos, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Whisk to incorporate everything well.

  3. 3

    Add in your chicken pieces, toss to coat, and make sure they're mostly submerged in this marinade.

  4. 4

    Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  5. 5

    Remove from the fridge 30 minutes prior to cooking.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a large heavy-bottom skillet and place over high heat.

  7. 7

    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.

  8. 8

    Garnish with chopped fresh pineapple and sesame seeds if desired. Serve with lime wedges.

  9. 9

    Enjoy!
