Pineapple Lime Grilled Chicken
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup of pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup of lime juice
- 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/4 cup of lime juice, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to make the marinade.
- Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, turning the chicken occasionally to ensure even marination.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts.
- Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve the pineapple lime grilled chicken hot. Enjoy!
Pineapple Lime Grilled Chicken is a tropical delight that originated in the Caribbean, where the vibrant flavors of pineapple and lime are abundant. This dish has a rich history, with roots in the traditional grilling techniques of the region. Chefs in the Caribbean have perfected the art of marinating chicken in a zesty blend of pineapple and lime, infusing the meat with a sweet and tangy flavor. The best versions of this dish can be found in local Caribbean restaurants, where skilled chefs expertly grill the chicken to perfection, creating a juicy and flavorful dish that captures the essence of the islands. To make this dish at home, it's essential to marinate the chicken for an extended period to ensure the flavors fully penetrate the meat. Additionally, grilling over charcoal or wood imparts a smoky essence that elevates the dish to new heights. Whether enjoyed in the Caribbean or made at home, Pineapple Lime Grilled Chicken is a tantalizing culinary experience that embodies the spirit of the tropics.
