Spicy Pineapple Glazed Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, stirring constantly, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glaze consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and grill marks appear.
- Brush the spicy pineapple glaze onto the grilled chicken breasts, coating both sides. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the glaze to caramelize and create a sticky coating on the chicken.
- Remove the glazed chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
- Serve the spicy pineapple glazed chicken with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. Enjoy!
