Equipment
- Skillet (cast iron recommended)
Ingredients
- 6-8 chicken thighs boneless skinless
- 1/4 C ketchup
- 1/4 C soy sauce
- 1/4 C brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp red wine
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp garlic
- 2 C pineapple chopped - about 1/2 pineapple
- 2 C jasmine rice (optional)
- garnish green onion (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, prepare the "huli huli" sauce by whisking together ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, red wine, lime juice, mustard, garlic, and ginger. Chop pineapple into ~2" pieces (about 1/4" - 1/2" thick).
- Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt. Heat a few tbsp olive oil on a skillet (preferred cast iron) over medium heat and add chicken thighs. Sear until lightly browned - about 5-7 minutes. Add more oil as needed.
- Pour huli huli sauce over the chicken thighs and flip to sear the other side (making sure to fully coat chicken in the sauce). Toss in pineapple with the chicken and sauce, also submerging into the sauce as it simmers (allowing the pineapple to infuse into the sauce and flavor the chicken).
- Simmer, flipping chicken and pineapple occasionally, until sauce has reduced to a glaze consistency - about 8-12 minutes.
- Remove skillet from heat and serve chicken and pineapple over a bed of rice. Spoon excess sauce from the pan over the chicken and top with chopped green onion. Enjoy!
