Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 4 slices pineapple slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, orange juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, allspice, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, and chopped cilantro to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Place the chicken on the preheated grill. Cook for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred.
For added tropical flair, place pineapple slices on the grill during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until caramelized.
Remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Serve the grilled chicken with the pineapple slices as garnish, and pair with your favorite sides like coconut rice or a fresh mango salad for a complete island-inspired meal.
