If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes prior to grilling. If using metal skewers, this isn't necessary.
Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat or if using an indoor grill pan, preheat your oven to 500F.
Thread the chicken onto the skewers, keeping the pieces fairly close together and leave 1 to 2 inches of space at both ends so that the chicken doesn't slip off on the grill end and that you have something to hold onto on the other end.
Evenly drizzle the skewers with olive oil, evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill for about 6 to 8 minutes with the lid closed, or until the chicken is about 1 to 2 minutes from being done. Make sure to rotate the skewers frequently while grilling to ensure even cooking.
Evenly brush a few coats of pineapple teriyaki marinade or sauce over each skewer and continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until done.
If you're serving coconut rice in a pineapple, prepare the rice ahead of time or use precooked coconut rice in a packet. I recommend using a very sharp knife and a strong person to slice through a pineapple if you're going this route.
Otherwise, optionally garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, optional lime wedges, and serve immediately with whatever sides or vegetables* (See Notes) you'd like.
