Hawaiian Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Glaze

Juicy grilled chicken marinated in a sweet and tangy pineapple glaze, perfect for a tropical-inspired meal.

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:

  1. In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and discard used marinade.
  4. Grill chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. 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.
  6. Brush the cooked chicken with the pineapple glaze and top with diced fresh pineapple and cilantro before serving.
