Best Grilled Teriyaki Chicken Or Tofu With Fresh Grilled Pineapple Recipes

TERIYAKI CHICKEN WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a large Ziploc plastic bag, combine 3/4 cup Teriyaki Marinade with chicken; seal bag. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup Marinade with pineapple slices, gently turning slices to coat; set aside.
• Remove chicken from bag, discarding used marinade.
• Grill or broil chicken, brushing often with remaining marinade, until thoroughly cooked, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• Grill pineapple slices, brushing with remaining marinade in bowl.
• Serve with a pineapple slice under and on top of each grilled breast.

GRILLED TERIYAKI CHICKEN OR TOFU WITH FRESH GRILLED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sherry.
• Prep the chicken
• Cut off any fat and place in a large Ziploc bag. With a rolling pin, pound chicken to 1/2 inch thickness. Pour in the marinade (or half the marinade if doing 1/2 chicken and 1/2 tofu) and place the bag of chicken in the fridge. Let the chicken marinate for 6 - 8 hours, turning once or twice if you can.
• Prep the tofu
• Press the block of tofu to help get some of the moisture out. The best way to do this, I've found, is to line a plate with five or six paper towels, put the block of tofu on there, add another paper towel or two on top, and top with about four dinner plates. Let the dinner plates weigh down the tofu, pressing out the extra moisture, for 10-15 minutes. But watch your plates! Sometimes the tofu sinks down on one side and your plates are in danger of tumbling. Now lay the tofu slab on its back and slice into 5 - 6 slices about 3/4 inches wide (or 2 - 3 slices if using 1/2 chicken and 1/2 tofu). Lay tofu in a shallow bowl or pan and pour the marinade on the top. Unless you like your food salty (I admittedly do), I'd suggest marinating tofu for no more than a couple hours.
• Cook it up
• Heat your grill to about 350-375 degrees, pull your chicken and/or tofu out of the fridge, and plop it on the grill. Turning often (be very careful with the tofu), grill for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink inside and the tofu is just getting crisp around the edges and has dark grill lines.
• Grill the pineapple slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side and serve along side the chicken and/or tofu.

PINEAPPLE TERIYAKI GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and pepper. Place chicken in the bowl, and coat with the mixture. Cover, and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours (I like mine to marinate for about 8 hours).
• Heat grill to medium-high. Place chicken on grill until just cooked through (about 5-7 minutes per side).
• Place pineapple slices on grill and cook until grill marks appear (just a minute or two per side).
• Remove chicken and pineapple from grill and place one slice of pineapple on each chicken breast. Sprinkle green onions on top.

GRILLED TERIYAKI TOFU BOWLS

Steps:

• Slice tofu into 4 thick slices. Marinate in 1/3 cup of teriyaki sauce while you prepare the vegetables.
• Cut bell pepper into 4 wedges; remove core and seeds. Cut ends off zucchini, then cut each zucchini in half lengthwise. Slice pineapple into 4 wedges. Cut onion into quarters. Place vegetables and pineapple onto a large platter. Brush with olive oil and season vegetables with salt and pepper.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate.
• Grill onions for 4 minutes, turning halfway through. Add bell pepper, zucchini, and pineapple to the grill and continue grilling, turning occasionally, until done to your liking, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove to a platter as each item finishes cooking, and cut into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle.
• Remove tofu from the marinade. Lightly oil the grate and grill 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Divide hot rice between 4 bowls. Top with grilled vegetables, pineapple, and tofu. Drizzle with remaining 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
