  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

  • 4 fresh pineapple slices

  • ½ cup pineapple juice

  • ¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper.

  • Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour marinade over the chicken and coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

  • Lightly brush grill grates with vegetable oil. Grill chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

  • Grill pineapple slices for 2–3 minutes per side, until caramelized.

  • Serve each chicken breast topped with a grilled pineapple slice. Garnish with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • You may substitute fresh pineapple with canned slices packed in juice.

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.

  • This recipe can also be cooked on a grill pan or skillet indoors.
