Description
A succulent chicken dish marinated in a blissful blend of pineapple juice and soy sauce, complemented by a vibrant, crunchy slaw.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cups green cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 4 hamburger buns or grilled pineapple slices
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken thighs into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and discard the marinade. Grill each thigh for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken grills, toss together the cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, and green onions in a separate bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and honey, then fold it into the slaw ingredients.
- Allow the grilled chicken to rest for 5 minutes, then slice and assemble the stacks with your choice of hamburger buns or grilled pineapple slices, topping it with the vibrant slaw. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate chicken overnight for best results. Prepare the slaw a few hours in advance for optimal crunch.
