Method
Step 1
Whisk together reduced-sodium soy sauce, raw honey, sea salt, black pepper, minced garlic, fresh ground ginger, and sesame oil in a small glass bowl. Add 1/3 of the mixture to a large freezer bag or small glass bowl.
Step 2
Add chicken and marinate 1 hour up to overnight. When ready to cook, let the chicken sit at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, grease and preheat grill to medium heat, 375 °F. Grill the chicken undisturbed for 5 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. (An inserted thermometer should read 165 degrees F when chicken is done.)
Step 4
Once cooked, brush with the remaining, untouched teriyaki sauce and set aside on a chopping board. Let cool down a bit, then slice against the grain.
Step 5
On the same grill, add the pineapple pieces and grill for about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Step 6
In a large bowl, layer the salad starting with the lettuce on bottom then veggies and finish with pineapple and chicken, Sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Mix to combine and serve.
