"I found this about recipe about 10 years ago and with a few revisions I've been using it ever since! It's quite easy to make and it tastes great! ...sometimes I like to add some fresh chopped cilantro as a topper. NOTE: Prep time includes the time it takes to marinade the chicken."

Ingredients:: 10
Serves:: 4

ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (thawed)
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices (in juice, not syrup)
¹⁄₂ cup pineapple juice (use juice from the can above)
¹⁄₂ cup low sodium soy sauce
¹⁄₄ cup brown sugar (unpacked)
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 -4 teaspoons cornstarch (as a thickening agent)
2 teaspoons freshly chopped ginger
2 cloves freshly chopped garlic
cilantro (optional)

directions

Mix all ingredients with a wire whisk (except chicken, pineapple slices, and cilantro). -- next add pineapple slices and let sit in marinade for about 1 or 2 minutes, then remove slices and place in separate bowl in frig.
Place the chicken in the marinade and refrigerate at least 1 hour, or longer if time is on your side.
After about an hour or so, remove the chicken from the marinade and cook marinade to a full boil on stove top, then simmer about 5 more minutes -- remove from heat and keep covered.
-- Meanwhile, place chicken breasts on the hot BBQ grill (searing chicken uncovered about 4 minutes on each side to hold in juices). Next, grab the pineapple slices out of the frig and lay them on top of the chicken and cook covered until the grillin' is good and done! -- Or, if you'd like you can place the pineapple directly onto the grill for a nice charbroiled flavor -- it's really good.
Grab a plate, toss a piece of chicken and pineapple on it, pour some marinade sauce over top and garnish with cilantro if it suits your buds -- eat this with some steamed rice and -- voila!

I'm just a simple gal that loves to garden and travel. There's nothing better than getting my hands dirty and growing my own herbs and veggies. My 3 year old shares this same passion with me, so the both of us, at the end of the day, will be covered with earth from head to toe! ...Oh, and please recycle...such a simple task can make a world of difference.
