Easy Pineapple Baked or Grilled Chicken 🍍

This simple recipe resulted in a delicious
& moist (and healthy) grilled chicken!

Ingredients:

3 pounds boneless, skinless, chicken

1/2 cup pineapple juice

1/4 cup soy sauce or coconut aminos

6 to 8 cloves (2 tablespoons) garlic, minced or pressed

2 tablespoons avocado oil

2 teaspoons onion powder

2 teaspoons ground ginger

1 teaspoon black pepper

Method:

Cut each chicken breast into 3 long pieces. Place in a ziploc bag.

Mix together the remaining ingredients and pour over the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for up to 3 months.

When ready to cook, allow to thaw in the refrigerator overnight.

To Bake: Preheat oven to 400*. Place the chicken and marinade in a lightly greased a baking dish. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the chicked is cooked through. (160*)

To Grill: Heat grill to 400*. Grill on all sides for 10 to 15 minutes or until cooked through to 160*.

Makes 6 servings. 

Notes:

I placed this chicken in marinade and stored it in the freezer until the day before grilling. I cooked the chicken on an indoor grill. In between turning the chicken pieces to grill all sides, I kept the cover/lid closed.

I grilled two types of marinated chicken for a family dinner. Both were delicious, but this pineapple chicken was the best!  🍍
