Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Place chicken breasts in a sealable plastic bag or dish and pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag and marinate in the fridge for at least one hour, or overnight for best results.
Cooking
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, about 15 minutes before cooking.
- Lightly coat the griddle with oil. Place the marinated chicken breasts on the griddle and cook each side for about 6 to 7 minutes or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
- While cooking the chicken, remove the pineapple chunks from the marinade and grill them for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until caramelized.
- After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before topping it with the grilled pineapple.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired before serving.
