Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• ½ cup pineapple juice
• ½ cup orange juice
• ¼ cup lime juice
• ¼ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups diced tropical fruits (such as pineapple, mango, and papaya)
• 2 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, honey, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add chicken breasts to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the marinade.
4. Grill the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and juices run clear. Baste with the reserved marinade during grilling.
5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes, until slightly thickened.
6. When the chicken is cooked, remove from grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken diagonally into thin strips.
7. In a serving platter, arrange the sliced chicken and top with diced tropical fruits, green onions, and chopped cilantro.
8. Drizzle the reduced marinade over the chicken and fruits. Serve hot and enjoy the tropical flavors!
