Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade afterward. Brush the thighs lightly with vegetable oil and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side.

Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized strips.
Assemble the Stack: Create a base with jasmine rice, layer on the grilled chicken, add diced fresh pineapple, red bell pepper, and sliced avocado on top.
Finish with Garnishes: Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro, serve with lime wedges.
