Ingredients

THE GLAZE:

THE GRILLING:

  • 1½ pounds thin chicken cutlets (lightly brushed with oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper)
  • One 20-ounce can pineapple slices (reserve the juice for the glaze above)
  • 1 large red bell pepper, seeds removed and sliced into large chunks
  • 1 large green bell pepper, seeds removed and sliced into large chunks

THE BOWL:

  • 1½ cups brown or white rice, cooked according to package instructions
  • chopped chives or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

PREPARE THE GLAZE:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice + water (enough to make 1 cup), brown sugar, ginger and garlic powder.  Stir and bring to a simmer.  Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a separate bowl.  Whisk the cornstarch mixture into the simmering soy sauce mixture.  Continue to simmer and stir until thickened.  Remove from heat, cover and set aside.

GRILL:

  • Preheat your grill to medium, and spray with grill spray.  Grill chicken, pineapple slices and bell peppers until cooked through and tender with grill marks on both sides.  Remove from the grill and chop.

ASSEMBLE THE BOWLS:

  • Divide the cooked rice between four bowls.  Top each with chicken, pineapple and bell peppers.  Drizzle with teriyaki glaze, and garnish with chives or green onions.  Serve immediately.

Notes

  • *If you are serving this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just be sure to use a brand of soy sauce that is known to be GF.
