Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger until smooth.
- Place 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs into a resealable plastic bag, then pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag while removing excess air and massage the chicken to coat it entirely in the marinade.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 375°F (190°C). Allow about 10 minutes for the grill to reach the ideal temperature.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and take it out of the bag. Discard the remaining marinade, and lightly brush both sides of each chicken thigh with vegetable oil.
- Place the oiled chicken thighs on the preheated grill and cook for 6 to 7 minutes on one side. Flip them and continue cooking for another 6 to 7 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Cook your jasmine rice according to package directions, typically around 15 minutes. Keep the rice warm by covering it with a lid.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Then slice the chicken into strips.
- Begin to assemble by placing a generous scoop of jasmine rice as the base on each plate. Layer the grilled chicken strips, diced fresh pineapple, chopped red bell pepper, and sliced avocado.
- Top your assembled stacks with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
- Add lime wedges to the side for a zesty touch before serving.

Notes
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours, or better yet, overnight for enhanced flavors.
