Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Salsa
Ingredients
  • 4 (6 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Heat up the outdoor grill to a medium-high temperature by adjusting the knobs accordingly. Lightly apply oil to the grill grates using a paper towel dipped in oil, making sure not to overdo it.
2
Take the chicken and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten it evenly, aiming for a thickness of about 1 inch. This ensures uniform cooking. Brush the chicken lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
3
Sprinkle a generous amount of Jamaican jerk seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken, making sure to cover them completely. Set the seasoned chicken aside for now.
4
In a small bowl, mix together pineapple, red pepper, jalapeno pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt to create a delicious salsa. Set this mixture aside for later use.
5
Place the chicken on the hot grill and gradually lower the heat to a medium setting, allowing it to adjust accordingly. Grill the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), which can take anywhere from 12 to 14 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through. You can check for doneness by inserting an instant-read thermometer into the center of the chicken.
6
Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
