Ingredients
  

For the Huli Huli Marinade
  • 1/2 cup Pineapple juice Unsweetened
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup Ketchup
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar Packed
  • 2 tbsp Ginger Freshly grated
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp Sesame oil
For the Chicken and Stacking
  • 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs Cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups Cooked white rice For the base
  • 1 cup Grilled pineapple rings Cut into chunks
  • 2 cups Shredded cabbage For texture
  • 1/4 cup Green onions Sliced, for garnish

Equipment

  • Grill
  • Large bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Make the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, grated ginger, garlic powder, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Marinate the chicken. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable bag or a dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, reserving the other half for basting. Seal and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. Cook the chicken. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, if desired, or place directly on the grill grates. Grill for 5 to 7 minutes per side, brushing frequently with the reserved marinade during the last few minutes of cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized.
  5. Assemble the stacks. Place a layer of cooked white rice on each serving plate. Top the rice with a layer of shredded cabbage.
  6. Layer the ingredients. Place several pieces of the cooked Huli Huli chicken on top of the cabbage. Add a few chunks of grilled pineapple on top of the chicken.
  7. Finish the dish. Garnish the stack with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

If you do not have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium heat until done, brushing with the reserved sauce during the last 5 minutes.
