Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 can Black beans
• 2 whole Avocados
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.25 whole Red onion
• 0.25 cup Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and minced garlic to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow container and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 4

Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the salad. Drain and rinse the black beans and place them in a large bowl.

Step 6

Dice the avocados, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the red onion, and roughly chop the cilantro. Add these to the bowl with the black beans.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 8

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to combine.

Step 9

Serve the grilled pineapple chicken alongside the black bean avocado salad. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
