Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ 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
- ½ cup green onions, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves.
- Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least two hours, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any excess liquid.
- Brush the chicken thighs lightly with vegetable oil and place them on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked.
- Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions if not already cooked.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice into bite-sized strips.
- Assemble the dish by serving a scoop of jasmine rice topped with grilled chicken slices.
- Layer with diced pineapples, red bell pepper, and smooth avocado slices.
- Finish with green onions and fresh cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, grill over charcoal. Marinate the chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
