Tips:

  • Prepare the chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. You can also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs if you prefer. Marinate the chicken in the prepared marinade for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will help to flavor the chicken and make it more tender.
  • Use a grill pan or outdoor grill: If you are using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high heat. If you are using an outdoor grill, preheat it to medium-high heat. Once the grill is hot, add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Make the glaze: While the chicken is cooking, make the glaze by whisking together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  • Baste the chicken: Once the chicken is cooked through, brush it with the glaze. You can also sprinkle the chicken with sesame seeds, if desired.
  • Serve: Serve the chicken immediately with rice, vegetables, and pineapple slices.
