Grilled Pineapple Chicken Breast Recipe

Anything citric always goes well with chicken so this grilled pineapple chicken breast recipe is a match made in heaven. I’ve shamelessly stolen the idea from when I was preparing grilled Chicken Kiev and stuffed pineapple into the chicken breast rather than garlic butter. After all, why re-invent the wheel?

I actually prepared this recipe with some Chicken Kiev breasts having found that we'd run out of garlic, a quick improvisation and I have to say that despite the early protestations from my family that it wouldn’t work with pineapple, there was only “mmm” noises at the dinner table and clean plates.

This recipe is so easy too. I used tinned crushed pineapple in pineapple juice to great effect but you can use a fresh pineapple if you have one lying around.

Ingredients:-

• 4 Skinless chicken breasts
• 1 small tin of crushed pineapple
• 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar

Method:-

Separate the crushed pineapple flesh from the juice by pouring the juice into a saucepan and put to one side for later. Place your chicken breasts on a board and with a sharp knife carefully carve out a pocket inside the meat. Stuff the crushed pineapple into the pocket and you’re ready to place them on the grill.

Grill your pineapple stuffed chicken breasts for 10 minutes on each side and while it’s cooking return to the saucepan of pineapple juice. Add the sugar and warm the juice so that the sugar dissolves to make a pineapple syrup. When the chicken is ready just pour over the pineapple syrup and tuck in.
