  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup fresh pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

Method
 

  1. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic and ginger.

  3. Add the chicken to the marinade; cover and let soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.
