Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, chili garlic sauce, shallot, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
Place chicken in a large bowl and pour one-third of the sauce over it. Toss to coat and marinate at least 15 minutes or up to 4 hours refrigerated. Reserve remaining sauce.
In another bowl, combine pineapple chunks, shallot, jalapeño, lime juice, and thyme. Fold in avocado just before serving.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Reduce heat to medium and pour in reserved sauce. Simmer 4 to 5 minutes until thickened and glossy.
Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Serve over warm rice topped with pineapple salsa.
