  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1-1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 medium fresh pineapple, core and skin removed and pineapple cut into 1/2-in planks

Instructions

Pineapple Grilled Chicken

  • In a large bowl, whisk pineapple juice, lime juice, honey, vegetable oil, garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until combined.
  • Place chicken in a sealable bag or a bowl and pour marinade over top. Seal bag shut and place on a plate or cover bowl. Marinate chicken in fridge 1 hour or up to 2.
  • When ready to grill, preheat a grill over medium-high heat OR lightly grease a grill pan to use on the stovetop.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, discarding marinade. Season chicken on both sides with a little additional salt and pepper. Grill chicken and pineapple planks over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until pineapple has grill marks and chicken registers 165F.

Black Bean Salsa

  • Cut pineapple into 1/4-in cubes and toss together in a large bowl with black beans, jalapeno, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice. Season salsa with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve chicken warm with salsa on top and additional cilantro and lime wedges. Enjoy!
