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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375–400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the chicken and pineapple from the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain its juices.
Step 8
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.
