Pineapple ginger chicken

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Step 1

    In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the pineapple, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and oil; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Remove tenderloin from chicken and reserve for another use. On a cutting board, slice chicken breasts in half crosswise almost all the way through and open up like a book. Add to marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

  3. Step 3

    Place chicken breasts on preheated medium high grill for about 8 minutes, turning a few times or until no longer pink inside.

  4. Step 4

    Stir mint and hot pepper sauce into remaining pineapple and serve with grilled chicken.
