Steps:
- 1. Place each chicken breast between two slices of waxed paper and flatten with a mallet or the bottom of a heavy pot to about half of its original thickness. Arrange all of the chicken in a lightly greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. In a small bowl, mix together the lime juice, bell pepper, garlic, black pepper, and juice from the pineapple. Pour over the chicken. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight, turning once. 2. Preheat the broiler and set the rack so that the top of your pan will be 6 inches from the heat source. 3. If necessary, spoon off and discard enough of the marinade so that the tops of the chicken pieces are exposed. Arrange the pineapple and kiwi slices on top of the chicken. In a small bowl, mix together the honey with 1 tbsp water and microwave for 10 - 15 seconds, until the honey is dissolved in the water. Pour the honey glaze evenly over the chicken and fruit. 4. Broil for 15 - 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, basting occasionally to prevent burning. If the top browns too rapidly, move the pan to a lower rack. 5. Divide the rice among four plates. Cut each chicken breast in half and serve the chicken on top of the rice. Spoon additional pan drippings over the top as desired.

- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes: The longer the chicken marinates, the more time the flavors have to soak in. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better it will taste.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through.
- Baste the chicken with the marinade while it's grilling: This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful. You can also baste the chicken with a mixture of melted butter and honey for a sweet and savory glaze.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Grilled Caribbean chicken is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include rice and beans, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad.
