Aloha Grilled Pineapple Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into rings
– ¼ cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Juice of 1 lime
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
– Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Aloha Grilled Pineapple Chicken:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Prepare your grill (gas or charcoal) for medium-high heat. Ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the hot grill.
5. Cook on One Side: Grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes, uncovered, until nicely browned.
6. Flip and Add Pineapple: Flip the chicken and add the pineapple rings to the grill at the same time. Grill for another 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. The pineapple should be lightly caramelized and tender.
8. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
9. Serve with Pineapple: Slice the chicken and serve garnished with grilled pineapple rings. Optionally, add fresh cilantro for a vibrant touch.

Now, you have beautifully grilled Aloha Chicken that’s bursting with flavor and ready to impress!
