Serve with peas, rice, or salad.

Steps:
- Preheat a grill pan or large griddle over medium high heat.
- Bring water to a boil in a small covered pot. Add butter, salt and rice to the pot. Return the water to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and replace cover. Simmer 18 minutes and remove rice from heat. Take the lid off the pot to cool rice a bit. Scoop rice into balls with an ice cream scoop and your hands. Dampen hands with water to work with rice if it is very sticky. Set rice balls on a plate and sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
- While your rice is cooking, lightly coat chicken with oil, salt and pepper. Place chicken on hot grill and cook 6 minutes on the first side.
- While chicken is cooking, bring chicken broth and ginger to a boil. Stir in honey. When honey has dissolved into broth, add teriyaki sauce and sesame oil and reduce heat to simmer.
- Turn chicken and coat liberally with honey teriyaki sauce using a basting brush. Cook chicken 4 minutes, turn again and baste liberally again with sauce, then cook 2 minutes longer. Remove chicken to a plate. Garnish chicken with sliced scallions.
- While chicken cooks on the second side, peel and cut a ripe pineapple into 8 spears. Cut off top and bottom of pineapple. Set pineapple upright and trim away skin in strips from top to bottom. Halve pineapple lengthwise and quarter each 1/2, lengthwise. The core is edible, but may be trimmed if you wish. Pineapple can be very acidic. Spears set in cold water for just 1 minute will keep the fruit from stinging your lips when it is eaten. Serve with chicken and rice balls
Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: For the best flavor, select a pineapple that is fully ripe. A ripe pineapple will have a golden yellow color and will be slightly soft to the touch.
- Use fresh chicken: Fresh chicken will give you the best results. If you are using frozen chicken, be sure to thaw it completely before cooking.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of soy sauce, pineapple juice, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out.
- Add the pineapple at the end of cooking: Adding the pineapple at the end of cooking will help to preserve its flavor and texture.
- Serve immediately: Chicken and pineapple is best served immediately after cooking.
