Hawaiian Chicken and Veggie Teriyaki Bowl

These Hawaiian Chicken and Vegetable Teriyaki Bowls are packed with lots of delicious ingredients and fresh flavors. Easily customizable to your liking!

Meet the most delicious thing you ate this year. This is my dream summer meal! I could eat it every day forever and still wish I had more. It’s really amazing!

hawaiian chicken marinade

I combined two of my favorite recipes (this and this) to create the perfect marinade for this flavorful chicken.

Marinade ingredients:

• soy sauce (I always use low sodium soy sauce)
• binapple juice
• brown sugar
• raw vinegar
• garlic
• Ginger

This marinade packs an incredible punch. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably longer (up to 24 hours).

what kind of chicken to use

This recipe works best with boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chicken breasts, or chicken tenders.

The cooking time will vary depending on the type of chicken, so keep an eye on it as it heats up. Cook until an instant-read thermometer indicates 165°F at the thickest part.

This recipe uses a pellet grill and preheats it to 375°F, Other cooking methods can be used as well.

• air fryer
• Oven broiler (sheet pan lined with foil and greased with cooking spray)
• indoor grill pan

grilled pineapple and vegetables

The star of this recipe is grilled pineapple. 😍 It might be the tastiest thing on earth.

Pineapples are delicious on their own, but when grilled, the natural sugars caramelize, making them sweeter, juicier and even more delicious.

This recipe also grills peppers and zucchini, but lest it be forgotten in the all-purpose shade of pineapple, know that they are beautiful in their own right.

Cut pineapples, zucchini, and peppers into spear-shaped or thicker strips for easier cooking (especially on the grill!).

The pineapple and vegetables are brushed with a reserved teriyaki marinade while grilling/cooking for extra flavor.

How to Assemble a Hawaiian Chicken Teriyaki Bowl

To assemble the bowl, first spoon some warm rice into it.

You can use brown rice or white rice here. Try coriander-lime rice or coconut rice for a delicious variation.

Add the following after rice.

1. grilled teriyaki chicken
2. grilled zucchini and peppers
3. pineapple
4. Other Additions: Red Onion*, Avocado, Fresh Lime, Extra Teriyaki Sauce, Toasted Sesame, etc.

If using red onions, It can be sliced ​​into rings and grilled with other vegetables, thinly sliced ​​and served raw, or simply pickled (details are in the recipe notes!).

Easily customizable meals

For example, how is this diet legal??

Great, yes. But more importantly, it tastes incredibly amazing.

The advantage of these Hawaiian chicken and vegetable teriyaki bowls is that they can be easily customized to suit your taste preferences and what you have on hand.

This recipe can easily be made with additional veggies (mushrooms, asparagus, eggplant, yellow squash) or without chicken, and the rice can be omitted to reduce carbs. The secret is in the flavorful marinade.

Everything about this meal speaks to my soul. I can’t wait for you to build it and make it your own!

It’s a great meal for large groups and when you need to cook your own style meal, or for a family with different taste preferences and likes and dislikes.

We often cook our own meals for dinner. That way everyone can customize their own plate and avoid drama and speculation like, “Mom, how many veggies did you hide in this casserole? Can I get them out?” 👀

However, I hope that no matter how picky you are, you give yourself a chance to eat grilled veggies and pineapple. Even my veggie-phobic kids agree that every part is delicious when served with plenty of extra teriyaki sauce. fun! !

Cover and refrigerate. pour the rest Marinated over chicken. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.

• Preheat your outdoor grill, indoor grill pan, air fryer, or broiler oven to medium or medium-high heat. I use a pellet grill and preheat it to 375°F.

• Bake until the chicken is cooked through, then turn it over and brush it over. reserved marinade Last 1-2 minutes of cooking (discard marinade used for chicken). The exact cooking time depends on the thickness/type of chicken you use. Insert a quick-read thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken and it should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove chicken, cover with foil, and let rest for 10 minutes while vegetables cook.

• Add pineapple, zucchini, and peppers to grill (you can also use a grill pan or one of the cooking methods in step 2 above). Brush with the reserved marinade. Cook for 2-3 minutes, flip, brush with marinade, and continue cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until crisp and tender. Remove to a pan.

Ginger + Garlic: If you use fresh ginger, it’s best to freeze the ginger (no need to peel it) and then grate the frozen ginger with a box grater or small hole in a file grater (again no need to peel). Frozen cubes of ginger or garlic, sold at Trader Joe’s and other grocery stores, are also great marinades. This recipe does not use dried or ground ginger or garlic, but it might work. Feel free to experiment.
Rice: This recipe is best paired with coriander-lime rice, coconut rice, or plain cooked white or brown rice. You can easily omit the rice for a low-carb meal.
Teriyaki sauce: If you’ve used all your marinades to brush your chicken, pineapple, and vegetables, having your favorite commercial brand of teriyaki sauce on hand will help you drizzle the extra sauce at the end.
Pickled onions: Peel the red onion and slice it thinly. Pack in a pint bottle. Combine the following and heat on stovetop or microwave until sugar and salt dissolve – 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup unseasoned rice or apple cider vinegar (or a combination), 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt.
