Grilled Pineapple Chicken
A tender piece of juicy chicken grilled to perfection, topped with caramelized pineapple for a sweet and tangy summer delight.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Works best for grilling.
- 1 medium Fresh pineapple slices Enhances flavor; canned works in a pinch.
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil For marinating the chicken.
- 1 teaspoon Salt For basic seasoning.
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Adds savory depth.
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice For tanginess.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Grilling
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side.
- Flip and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- During the last few minutes of cooking, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Grill until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serving
- Once everything is cooked, remove from the grill and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve the chicken topped with the grilled pineapple.
Notes
Don’t overcook the chicken; use a meat thermometer for assurance. For added flavor, consider experimenting with other marinades.
