YIELDS: 2 serving(s)
PREP TIME: 10 mins
COOK TIME: 30 mins

Ingredients:

• 1 pineapple
• 1/3 c. low-sodium soy sauce
• 3 tbsp. packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. pineapple juice
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp. minced fresh ginger
• 1 tsp. sesame oil
• 1 tbsp. vegetable oil
• 3/4 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, chopped
• 2 tsp. corn starch
• 2 tsp. water
• 2 c. cooked rice, for serving
• Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Begin by heating your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat.
2. Slice your pineapple in half, leaving the stem intact. Using a knife, slice around the perimeter of the fruit and angle your knife towards the middle. Make a few cuts across, then scoop the chunks out with a spoon, reserving about 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice for the sauce.
3. Chop the pineapple into smaller pieces to garnish or snack on later.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
5. Season the chicken all over with salt, then add the vegetable oil to your Blackstone griddle.
6. Add the chicken to the griddle and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
7. Pour the sauce over the chicken and bring the mixture to a simmer.
8. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry.
9. Stir the slurry into the sauce and simmer until the sauce thickens and the chicken is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes more.
10. While the chicken is cooking, you can use your Blackstone griddle to char the fruit side of your pineapple bowl.
11. Once the chicken and sauce are done, divide the rice and chicken between the pineapple bowls and garnish with chopped pineapple, sesame seeds, and green onions, if using.
12. Serve hot and enjoy your Blackstone Griddle Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Bowl!
