Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil until fully combined.
Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, sealing the bag or covering the dish. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and charred.
Add the pineapple rings to the grill, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side until caramelized and golden brown.
In a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil and cook for 5-6 minutes until it thickens into a glossy glaze.
Spoon cooked rice onto a plate, layer with grilled chicken, and top with a grilled pineapple ring. Drizzle the thickened glaze over everything and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Marinating overnight yields the best flavor. Keep an eye on the chicken while grilling, and adjust cooking time based on grill heat.
