Equipment
- 1 Grill preheated to medium-high
- 1 Mixing Bowl large
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
Marinade Ingredients
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
Main Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 fresh pineapple sliced into rings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk together until well combined.
- Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and ensure it is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Grilling
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While the chicken is grilling, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Cook until they are caramelized and have grill marks, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serving
- Arrange the grilled chicken and pineapple on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
