This is an easy and delicious way to prepare a tasty meal in no-time. In 25 minutes you’ll be digging into a chicken dinner that’s hard to forget. Make as a quick weeknight dinner or spread the love at your next dinner party.
 
This is how we do it. First we combine the chicken pieces with ginger, garlic and teriyaki sauce. You can make your own teriyaki sauce instead of buying a bottle that’s too salty or too sweet, it’s actually easier to make than you might think. We let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes, but you can do it for a full day.
 
Next, we cut the pineapple, cook the rice and sear the chicken in oil and butter. Butter really brings this teriyaki sauce to the next level, it makes it more sticky and rich. Next we throw in the pineapple and let it caramelize. It adds a fresh and vibrant sweetness to this dish as well. Finally, we stir in teriyaki sauce and sriracha, let it thicken. Done!
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce 

Forget that bottle of store-bought teriyaki sauce, while you can make a more delicious version at home with pantry ingredients you probably already have. It takes only a few ingredients, once blitzed into a sauce, it will transform your chicken into a delightful glossy teriyaki. That signature salty-sweet flavor comes together with a mix of soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, plus garlic and fresh ginger, and a little cornstarch to help the sauce thicken and help to get that irresistibly sticky texture.

Here’s my version:

  • ½ cup low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp mirin or 2 white rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tsp cornstarch whisked with ¼ cup water 

Combine in a sauce pan, bring to a simmer and cook until it thickens. Leftovers can be stored in a jar, refrigerated for up to a week.
