Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup pineapple slices (fresh or canned), grilled or seared
- 1 cup shredded cabbage or slaw mix
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
- For the Huli Huli Sauce:
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine all Huli Huli sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, then grill or pan-sear over medium-high heat until fully cooked, about 5–7 minutes per side. Brush with Huli Huli sauce during the last few minutes of cooking to caramelize.
- Grill or sear pineapple slices until lightly charred, about 1–2 minutes per side.
- To assemble the stack, layer rice on the bottom of each plate or bowl, followed by shredded cabbage or slaw mix, sliced Huli Huli chicken, and grilled pineapple.
- Drizzle with extra Huli Huli sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes to enhance flavor.
- Swap chicken for tofu or shrimp for a variation.
- Great served warm or at room temperature — perfect for meal prep.
- Add sliced avocado or cucumber for extra freshness.
