Ingredients

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded and thin cut)
  • 1 8 oz can pineapple rings (drained- set juice aside)
  • 1/4 cup canned pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup Hawaiian barbeque sauce
  • 2 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix pineapple juice, barbecue sauce, low sodium soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and onion powder to make a marinade.

  3. 3

    Set ¼ cup of your marinade mixture aside for basting the chicken before serving.

  4. 4

    Place your chicken and pineapple rings into your marinade and let sit covered in a refrigerator for 10-20 minutes. Do not marinate for more than 20 minutes. Pineapple juice can break down chicken.

  5. 5

    Grill marinated pineapple rings and chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side, making sure that they all reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.

  6. 6

    Serve hot with extra marinade and optional green onion garnish.
