• 1 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
• 4 - 6 chicken breasts

• 1 tsp. hot sauce (optional)
For the Teriyaki sauce:
• ½ cup dark soy sauce
• ½ cup honey

• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• ½ tsp. ginger powder

• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp. garlic powder

Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce ingredients. Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the mixture and stir.

Refrigerate the chicken and the remaining sauce separately for 2 hours or preferably overnight.

Heat a large sauce pan on medium heat and bring the remaining teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice to a boil. Reduce the heat and bring to a simmer until the sauce slightly thickens, stir constantly to prevent burning. Once done, pour the sauce into a bowl and set aside.
Wash off the sauce pan and place back on medium-high heat. Add about ¼ cup of oil and let it heat up. Place the chicken pieces into the pan, draining the excess marinade. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes on each side over high heat or until nicely browned. Set the chicken on a plate and set aside.
Wipe off the same sauce pan and place back on the heat. Add 3 cups of water, salt, cooking oil and bring to a boil. Next, add the rice and reduce the heat to completely low and cook the rice for another 8 - 10 minutes.
Once the rice is done, place the chicken pieces on top of it and brush them with the remaining teriyaki-pineapple mixture. Cover the pot and continue cooking the rice on low heat for an additional 10 - 12 minutes.
Brush the chicken with more of the teriyaki mixture and season the rice with salt and pepper. Stir in the hot sauce if desired.
