Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts and coat well. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 2: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F and the chicken is nicely charred and juicy.
- Step 3: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 1 cup diced fresh pineapple, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 1 small seeded and finely chopped jalapeño, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, and 1 tsp honey. Stir gently to combine.
- Step 4: Remove chicken from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the fresh pineapple salsa for a bright, tropical contrast.
