Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Grill
- Resealable Plastic Bag
Ingredients
Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Marinade
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh pineapple slices for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper.
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
- Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, let it marinate overnight!
- When you’re ready to cook, preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it’s fully cooked and has beautiful grill marks.
- In the last few minutes of grilling, place fresh pineapple slices on the grill until they’re warm and slightly charred.
- Serve the chicken topped with the grilled pineapple slices.
Notes
Marinate the chicken overnight for the best flavor. Fresh pineapple gives the best taste, but canned works in a pinch. Serve with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
