Teriyaki Chicken

Grilled Teriyaki Chicken is a delicious citrus and Asian inspired dish. This marinade will make you fall in love with this meal all over again!

Fresh ginger, garlic, lime, and spring onions bring that fresh taste. Pineapple juice tenderizes the meat and a wonderful teriyaki sauce makes this dish divine and your taste buds sing! Guaranteed.

You are ten minutes and a few simple ingredients away from a yummy tender and juicy chicken dinner! The flavor combinations in this dish will not disappoint.

I have got you covered for the tastiest Teriyaki Chicken! Gluten free and soy free teriyaki marinade can be hard to find. The recipe fits the bill.

This has the feels of a Hawaiian Teriyaki. I will have you hula dancing while you cook! 🙂

This is great to whip up in the morning and when dinner time rolls around, this Asian inspired chicken dish will be ready to go.

A chicken recipe that is perfect to top with salads, sandwiches, Hawaiian pizzas, Oriental pasta dishes or even cauliflower/rice bowls. Perfect for summer BBQ kabobs with thick slices of red onion, roasted zucchini, squash or fresh pineapple.

Make a big batch and you have dinner ideas for a few days!

We use a combo of chicken breasts and chicken thighs, you can use whatever your family prefers. I love to serve this with grilled red onions and pineapple. The taste combo is fab.

For low carb days I love to eat this dish with Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice. For regular macro days we use Pineapple Jalapeno Rice.

Ok, let’s get this delicious Asian, Hawaiian Inspired grilled teriyaki chicken dish started!

Step by step instructions

• Ingredients for our Teriyaki chicken:

• Place chicken on parchment paper and add salt, pepper, onion powder and garlic powder to the chicken.

• In a glass bowl, add the teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, spring onions, lime zest, lime juice, freshly grated ginger and garlic. Add chicken.

• You can store chicken in the glass bowl or place in a zip loc bag so it is easy to transfer to the grill.

• Let the chicken marinate as long as possible. Ideal would be 6-8 hours. The longer the better.
• Grill teriyaki chicken on LOW heat for 8 minutes per side. Use your meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165 degrees.

Tips for success

• I like to marinate this as long as possible. The pineapple juice will tenderize your chicken. It leaves your chicken so tender and juicy. If you do not have time, just marinate as long as you can.
• I prefer to stay away from soy sauce marinades. If you don’t mind soy just look for a gluten free teriyaki sauce.
• The teriyaki sauce that I have linked has clean ingredients and with a few additional pantry items you will have an amazing Teriyaki Chicken dinner. A lot of grocery store have started to carry this brand.
• A meat thermometer comes in handy when grilling. We tend to use thin chicken. If you prefer thick chicken breasts your grilling times will vary. You want to make sure the internal temperature of your chicken is 165 degrees.
• I like to use a grater for my ginger and garlic. I find that one tool will do both and makes for easier kitchen clean up. It you do not have one, you can use a garlic press and mince the garlic very fine.

How to store and reheat leftovers

Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Microwave Option: Place chicken on a microwave safe dish, heat for 60-90 seconds or until nice and warm.

Stovetop Option: (preferred method) Place chicken in a skillet on medium heat. Heat for about 5 minutes or until it is nice and warm throughout the chicken.

If you slice the chicken it will re-heat faster.
