Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least two hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the marinade.
  4. Brush chicken thighs with vegetable oil and place on the grill. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  5. Prepare jasmine rice as per package instructions, if not already cooked.
  6. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken into bite-sized strips.
  7. Assemble the stack: start with a scoop of jasmine rice, add grilled chicken strips, layer diced pineapple, red bell pepper, and sliced avocado.
  8. Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro. Serve immediately with lime wedges.
