Move over Hawaiian pizza! This tropical chicken has become our new favorite savory pineapple dish. The acidity from the pineapple marinade will help to tenderize the chicken breast and the sugar works to caramelize the meat while grilling.
If you want to take this recipe to the next level, you can slice the chicken and throw it into a tortilla with pickled red onion and a bright cabbage slaw.
