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.
