Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ripe pineapple, peeled and cut into thick slices

1/4 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Add the chicken breasts and ensure they are well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.

    Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Make sure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

      Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

        Grill the Pineapple: While the chicken is grilling, place the pineapple slices directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they have grill marks and are slightly caramelized.

          Serve: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve each chicken breast topped with grilled pineapple slices. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley and offer lime wedges on the side for a zesty touch.

            Enjoy: Savor the tropical flavors of your summer dinner, ideally enjoyed outdoors as the sun sets!
