Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Whisk together pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over it, coat evenly, and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours (not overnight).
- Heat the grill to medium-high (375°F–400°F) and oil the grates to prevent sticking.
