I have been on the lookout for a recipe that I could make myself. Infusing pineapple with teriyaki was delicious! It is the perfect amount of sweet and salty and the longer you let your chicken marinate, the more delicious it becomes! This grilled recipe is now a staple at our house - everyone loves it. Serve with peas, rice, or salad.

Tips:
- Use a quality Caribbean lime. Key limes, also known as Mexican limes, are the traditional choice for Caribbean cuisine. They have a unique flavor that is more acidic and floral than regular limes. If you can't find Key limes, regular limes will work, but you may need to adjust the amount of lime juice you use.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are thin and can easily overcook. Cook them over medium heat until they are just cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per side.
- Use fresh pineapple. Fresh pineapple has a much better flavor than canned pineapple. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple that has been packed in its own juice.
- Grill the pineapple slices until they are slightly charred. This will give them a smoky flavor that complements the chicken.
- Serve the chicken and pineapple with a lime wedge and a sprinkle of cilantro. This will add a fresh, bright flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This Caribbean lime chicken with grilled pineapple is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is tender and juicy, the pineapple is smoky and sweet, and the lime adds a bright, fresh flavor. Serve this dish with a side of rice and beans for a complete meal.
