Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 slices pineapple slices (fresh or canned, drained)
- 120 grams brie cheese (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 2 teaspoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375°F to 400°F).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken breasts on both sides.
Place the chicken breasts on the preheated grill and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is grilling, lightly brush the pineapple slices with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Once the chicken is nearly done, place the pineapple slices on the grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they have caramelized grill marks.
Top each grilled chicken breast with a slice of grilled pineapple and a slice of brie cheese.
Close the grill lid and allow the cheese to melt slightly, about 2 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
Optional: Drizzle a small amount of honey over the top for an added touch of sweetness.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
