# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
Give those chicken breasts a generous brush with the pineapple glaze and set out the rest for dipping. Top it off with more cilantro if you want. Dig in!
02 -
Let your chicken hang out on a fresh plate for five minutes after grilling. It helps keep things juicy.
03 -
Pop the pineapple glaze into a small pot on medium. Let it bubble for five to seven minutes while stirring so it gets a little thicker.
04 -
Toss the chicken on your hot grill. Flip it once after about six or seven minutes a side. It's ready when your thermometer hits 74°C inside.
05 -
Grab a bowl and mix up pineapple bits, honey, lime juice, soy sauce, and chopped cilantro. Stir good so the honey melts in.
06 -
Let those seasoned chicken breasts sit for around five minutes as you pull your glaze together.
07 -
Coat both sides of every piece of chicken well with your spice blend. Really rub it in so the flavor sticks.
08 -
Mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir till it looks even and smooth.
09 -
Use a clean cutting board and knife to cut off any fatty bits or gristle on your chicken breasts.
10 -
Fire up your grill to medium-high. Oil and clean the grates a little so nothing gets stuck.
# Extra Tips and Tricks:
01 -
Want smoky flavor? Try tossing in some chipotle powder with your spices.
02 -
Let the chicken chill in the marinade up to an hour for bolder taste.
03 -
You can stash the glaze in the fridge if you make it ahead.
04 -
Craving more sweetness? Pour in more honey till it's just right for you.
05 -
Goes awesome with white rice or a bright salad to balance the sweet glaze.
