Ingredients
- 12 oz boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice

- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp, minced fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 cup pineapple chunks

Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk together 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp sesame oil until the honey dissolves completely.
