Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Pineapple slices (for serving)

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
2. Add the chicken breasts to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
4. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and discard the excess marinade.
5. Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
6. Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
7. Serve the grilled Hawaiian chicken with pineapple slices and garnish with chopped cilantro.
8. Enjoy!
