Teriyaki Chicken
Teriyaki Chicken is the perfect dish to showcase the tangy yet sweet notes of the flavorful marinade. When you lead a busy life but don't want to compromise on flavor, this recipe is a lifesaver. Marinate the chicken before you start your day and grill it up for a quick gourmet dinner when you get home. The added touch of grilled pineapple brings a refreshing twist that complements the savory chicken beautifully. This dish holds a special place in my heart because it’s not just gluten-free, it's also family-approved. My kids love it when chicken turns into a fun, fruity feast, and I love it because it’s hassle-free yet feels like a special meal.

- 4 pineapple rings fresh or canned
Instructions

- Marinate chicken for several hours or overnight.
- Remove chicken from marinate. Discard any remaining marinade.

Make sure to choose a gluten-free soy sauce to keep the dish safe for gluten-intolerant guests.
If you're in a hurry, you can marinate the chicken for just an hour, but overnight marination will yield the most flavorful result.
