Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place chicken breasts in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half for the glaze. Marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade.
Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Brush the cooked chicken with the pineapple glaze and top with diced fresh pineapple and cilantro before serving.
