Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsweetened pineapple juice
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh gingerroot
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 slices fresh pineapple, 1/2-inch thick, cores removed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Thinly sliced green onions, optional

Direction

  1. Whisk together pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, pepper, and garlic until blended. Place chicken in a shallow dish. Add half the marinade; turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
  2. Drain chicken, discarding the marinade. Grill chicken, covered, on a greased grill rack over medium-high direct heat until a thermometer reads 170°, 6-7 minutes on each side.
  3. Grill pineapple slices, turning frequently, until slightly charred, 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan on the grill, cook reserved marinade over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Chop grilled pineapple. Sprinkle over chicken; serve with sauce. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
