Instructions

Creating Caribbean Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Salsa can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine olive oil, jerk seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for enhanced flavor.
2. Prepare the Salsa: In another bowl, mix together the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, lime juice, and honey (if using). Stir well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
6. Plate the Dish: Slice the chicken into strips and serve it on a platter, topping it generously with the pineapple salsa.

These steps will guide you in creating this incredible dish effortlessly.
