Enjoy a delectable combination of flavors in this Teriyaki Chicken Pineapple Delight, served in a pineapple bowl for a unique and fun presentation, sure to impress your family and friends.
Slice the pineapple in half, from top to bottom, keeping the stem intact. Using a sharp knife, remove the pineapple fruit by cutting around the perimeter and making a few cuts across, then scooping out the chunks with a spoon. Reserve 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice and set aside the pineapple chunks for garnish.
