Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 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
- Fresh pineapple slices, for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, ground 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, or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover liquid. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- In the last few minutes of grilling, add the fresh pineapple slices to the grill and cook until slightly charred.
- Serve the chicken topped with the grilled pineapple slices.
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking.
- Fresh pineapple gives the best taste, but canned pineapple can be used in a pinch.
- If you don’t have a grill, you can bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 25-30 minutes.
