πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions
Make the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, lime juice, ginger, salt, and pepper.

Marinate the Chicken

Place chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over the chicken.

Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 4 hours for stronger flavor).

Preheat Grill

Set grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the Chicken

Remove chicken from marinade (discard leftover marinade).

Grill for 6–8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 165Β°F (75Β°C).

Serve

Rest chicken for a few minutes before slicing.

Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

If you want, I can also give you a sheet pan oven-baked version of this so you can make it without grilling. Would you like me to create that?
