Ingredients

  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 jalapeno chiles, coarsely chopped
  • 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1/2 yellow bell pepper, finely diced
  • Canola oil
  • 1/4 pound steamed snow peas
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless chicken breasts, 8-ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Steamed brown rice

Directions

Heat the grill to high. Place the vinegars, soy sauce, pineapple juice, sugar, jalapeno and ginger in a medium saucepan and cook over high heat until reduced by half, stirring occasionally. If the sauce becomes too thick, thin with a little bit of water.

Strain the sauce through a strainer into a bowl. Briefly saute the red and yellow pepper in canola oil and then stir in the sauce along with the snow peas, mint and cilantro and season with salt and pepper.

Brush the chicken on both sides with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 8 minutes, while also brushing with any remaining glaze. Place the rice on a large plate. Remove the chicken from the grill/ and immediately drizzle with the sauce.

    Outstanding! My husband and I aren't big on sweets so I added half the sugar and it was perfect for us. Wonderful combination of flavors. The cilantro and mint adds a very unique taste - don't skip out on it.

    The first time I made this it was wonderful...I made the sauce on the stove and it kept bubbling up on me though so I had to keep a close eye on it, and it didn't REALLY thicken until it was cooled for the leftovers which makes sense but it was delicious anyway. Since it stunk up the house like vinegar my bf did it on the grill with the chicken next time...he said it never bubbled up on him but it also didn't thicken at all. So just make sure you cook it long enough and at a high enough heat. It's totally worth it though because it is DELICIOUS. I also added some extra veggies, you can probably use whatever you have on hand.

    Excellent! My entire family enjoyed this. From 7 years old to 40's...we loved it. The perfect amount of heat that it wasn't too much for my little ones. Definitely will make this one again and again and again! I followed the recipe exactly.
