Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil.
  2. Place the chicken in a sealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Discard the marinade and grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes on each side until it reaches 165°F.
  4. Grill the pineapple rings for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
  5. In a small saucepan, simmer the reserved marinade until it thickens slightly, about 5–6 minutes.
  6. Assemble the stack starting with rice, followed by the chicken, pineapple, glaze, green onions, and sesame seeds.
