Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, fresh lime juice, ground ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates.
Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes on each side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Rest and Garnish: Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Slice and serve.

Notes

For additional glaze, reserve a small portion of marinade before adding raw chicken and boil it for a minute before brushing on in the last minute of grilling.
