Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into rings
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
To create your own Grilled Aloha Chicken & Pineapple, follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, ginger powder, black pepper, and salt.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours for more flavor).
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C).
4. Prepare the Pineapple: While the grill is heating, prepare the pineapple rings. You can brush them lightly with olive oil if desired to prevent sticking.
5. Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Place the chicken on the grill. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Grill the Pineapple: In the last few minutes of cooking the chicken, add the pineapple rings to the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are caramelized and have grill marks.
7. Rest the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
8. Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken and pineapple on a platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
