PINEAPPLE SALSA CHICKEN
These flavorful chicken breasts are grilled to perfection, then topped with a sweet and spicy, colorful pineapple salsa. The dish is mildly spicy, however you can adjust the amount of jalapeno to suit your tastes. Use your favorite brand of seasoning and adjust the salt right before serving, as some brands are saltier than others.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Mix together the light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, thyme, cumin, 1 teaspoon of garlic salt, paprika, chili powder, and nutmeg in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Rub both sides of chicken breasts with the spice mixture, and place into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle any remaining seasoning mix on top of chicken, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is lightly browned, no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
- While chicken is baking, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Chop half the pineapple slices. Mix the chopped pineapple, cilantro, and olive oil into the cooked rice, and season to taste with a pinch or two of garlic salt and black pepper. Fluff the rice up with a fork, and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with the baked chicken, topped with remaining pineapple slices.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe pineapple for the salsa. This will give it the best flavor.
- If you don't have fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple. Just be sure to drain it well before using.
- You can adjust the heat of the salsa by adding more or less jalapeno pepper. If you don't like spicy food, you can omit the jalapeno pepper altogether.
- Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to tenderize the chicken and infuse it with flavor.
- You can cook the chicken in a grill pan, on a regular grill, or in a skillet. If you're cooking the chicken in a skillet, be sure to use a heavy-bottomed skillet so that the chicken doesn't stick.
Conclusion:
This Caribbean chicken with pineapple salsa is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a summer cookout or potluck. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the pineapple salsa is a refreshing and tangy complement. Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or grilled vegetables.
