MARINATED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH GRILLED PINEAPPLE RELISH



Marinated Chicken Breasts With Grilled Pineapple Relish image

In this grilled chicken breast recipe, pineapple makes a fantastic marinade that caramelizes on the grill. Pineapple is grilled for the relish, too.

Provided by Eric Werner

Categories     Chicken     Grill/Barbecue     Pineapple     Jalapeño     Chile Pepper     Vinegar     Summer     Memorial Day     Labor Day     Father's Day     Cilantro

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Marinade
1 ripe pineapple, peeled but left whole
1 jalapeño chile
1⁄2 red onion
1⁄2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon roasted garlic (see Note)
1 tablespoon salt
4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts, 6 to 8 ounces each
Grilled Pineapple Relish
1⁄2 peeled pineapple (remaining from marinade prep)
Oil, for coating
Honey, for coating and seasoning, plus 1 tablespoon
Salt, for coating and seasoning
1 jalapeño chile
1⁄2 red onion, peeled and halved
1⁄4 cup vinegar, plus more to taste
1⁄2 cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • To make the marinade: Slice the pineapple crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Using a paring knife, remove the core from each round (this can be done roughly, since the core is edible). Chop half the pineapple coarsely; set aside the remaining half for the relish. Add the chopped pineapple to a blender, together with the jalapeño, onion, vinegar, garlic, and salt and blend until smooth. Transfer the marinade to a bowl, add the chicken breasts, and refrigerate, covered, for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a two-zone fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it. To create your medium-heat zone, nudge the embers 2 to 3 inches lower than that.
  • To make the relish: Toss the remaining pineapple in oil, honey, and salt to coat. Grill over medium heat until it is nicely caramelized, about 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the jalapeño and onion over medium heat until lightly charred, turning often, about 3 minutes for the jalapeño and 8 minutes for the onion. As they finish cooking, transfer the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion to a cutting board.
  • When they are cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion and add to a bowl with the vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and cilantro. Season with more salt, and add more vinegar or honey, if needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and bring to room temperature. Place skin side down over high heat. After about 90 seconds, using tongs, rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. Flip the breasts and do the same on the other side. Once you have nice grill marks on both sides, move to medium heat and cook, turning often, until an instant-read meat thermometer, placed in the thickest part of a breast, reads 160ºF on a meat thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and let the breasts rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the relish.

Tips:

  • Flavorful Marinade: Enhance the taste of your chicken and pineapple by marinating them in a flavorful mixture. Olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger make a great marinade for this recipe.
  • Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple chunks add a burst of sweetness and tanginess to the dish. If using canned pineapple, choose unsweetened and drain it thoroughly before grilling.
  • Proper Skewering: To prevent the chicken and pineapple from spinning on the skewers, soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help them hold the ingredients in place.
  • Medium-High Heat: Grill the chicken and pineapple skewers over medium-high heat to achieve a nice char and cooked interior. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.
  • Baste Regularly: Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade or a mixture of melted butter and honey during grilling. This will keep them moist and add extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Grilled BBQ Chicken and Pineapple Skewers offer a delightful combination of sweet, savory, and smoky flavors. By following these tips and the detailed recipe instructions, you can easily create this delicious dish at home. Serve the skewers with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a refreshing salad, for a complete and satisfying meal. The vibrant colors and flavors of this dish make it perfect for summer cookouts, backyard parties, or casual weeknight dinners. Enjoy the burst of tropical flavors with every bite of these tantalizing chicken and pineapple skewers!
