Ingredients

12 chicken tenders
olive oil
2 zucchini sliced into half moons
2 bell peppers any color, cut into chunks (I used an equal amount of mini peppers so I could get 3 colors of peppers)
½ pineapple peeled and cut into spears
1 red onion cut into chunks

For the teriyaki sauce:

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup sugar
2 Tbsp apple cider
3 cloves garlic minced
1 Tbsp ginger grated
1 Tbsp cornstarch
coconut rice I have a recipe for the Instant Pot or the rice cooker

Instructions

In a saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat in a bowl for 1 minute, until thickened. Set aside.
In a bowl, drizzle the vegetables with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until coated with the oil. Now, if you choose the grill basket for cooking the veggies, place them in the grill basket and grill until tender. If you are going for the oven version, place on a baking sheet and cook at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through. Keep warm.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken and pineapple on the grill. They should both take about 2 minutes per side. The pineapple may cook a little faster.
To serve, add a scoop of coconut rice to the bottom of a bowl. Top with 2 chicken tenders, a couple of pineapple spears, and a spoonful of veggies. Then drizzle with the teriyaki sauce and enjoy. Serves 6.
