- 1 cup pineapple chunks

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Making the Marinade
Start by blending the diced mango, pineapple chunks, lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender until a smooth marinade forms. This vibrant mixture will infuse the chicken with irresistible tropical flavors.
Marinating the Chicken
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to become wonderfully tender.
Grilling the Chicken
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any remaining marinade. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). For added flavor, you can also grill slices of mango and pineapple alongside the chicken.
Notes
Grilled Mango Pineapple Chicken pairs beautifully with a variety of sides, such as fluffy white rice, a fresh garden salad, or roasted sweet potato wedges. Feel free to experiment with different types of fruit or even try this recipe with shrimp or pork for a fun twist.
