Ingredients

  • 1 (6 oz) can pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • sliced green onions for topping
  • sesame seeds for topping

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, mix the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and pepper.
  • Place chicken in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over the top. Cover (or close bag), and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours. The longer you marinate the chicken the more flavorful it will be. I like to marinate mine for 24 hours if possible.
  • If grilling, heat grill to medium heat and cook chicken for 5-8 minutes per side. If broiling, heat oven broiler to high and cook for about five minutes per side, being careful not to burn. You can also pan fry your chicken over medium heat for about 5 minutes per side. With each method, just keep an eye on the chicken and adjust cooking time as needed. Make sure to discard any leftover marinade.
  • Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds when ready to serve.
