- 1.
In a bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Reserve a small amount for basting.

Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag and pour the teriyaki marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to allow the flavors to infuse.

Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until cooked through, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
- 5.
While the chicken grills, prepare the pineapple salsa. In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeno pepper, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.

Serve the grilled teriyaki chicken with a generous portion of pineapple salsa on the side.

Enjoy this tropical delight with a side of steamed rice or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.
