Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

Marinade
1 ripe pineapple, peeled but left whole
1 jalapeño chile
1⁄2 red onion
1⁄2 cup vinegar
1 tablespoon roasted garlic (see Note)
1 tablespoon salt
4 boneless, skin-on chicken breasts, 6 to 8 ounces each
Grilled Pineapple Relish
1⁄2 peeled pineapple (remaining from marinade prep)
Oil, for coating
Honey, for coating and seasoning, plus 1 tablespoon
Salt, for coating and seasoning
1 jalapeño chile
1⁄2 red onion, peeled and halved
1⁄4 cup vinegar, plus more to taste
1⁄2 cup packed cilantro leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • To make the marinade: Slice the pineapple crosswise into 1-inch-thick rounds. Using a paring knife, remove the core from each round (this can be done roughly, since the core is edible). Chop half the pineapple coarsely; set aside the remaining half for the relish. Add the chopped pineapple to a blender, together with the jalapeño, onion, vinegar, garlic, and salt and blend until smooth. Transfer the marinade to a bowl, add the chicken breasts, and refrigerate, covered, for at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours.
  • Wipe the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking. Build a two-zone fire. Your high-heat zone should have embers 1 to 2 inches from the cooking surface, with occasional flames licking it. To create your medium-heat zone, nudge the embers 2 to 3 inches lower than that.
  • To make the relish: Toss the remaining pineapple in oil, honey, and salt to coat. Grill over medium heat until it is nicely caramelized, about 3 minutes per side. Meanwhile, grill the jalapeño and onion over medium heat until lightly charred, turning often, about 3 minutes for the jalapeño and 8 minutes for the onion. As they finish cooking, transfer the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion to a cutting board.
  • When they are cool enough to handle, coarsely chop the pineapple, jalapeño, and onion and add to a bowl with the vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and cilantro. Season with more salt, and add more vinegar or honey, if needed. Set aside until ready to serve.
  • Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and bring to room temperature. Place skin side down over high heat. After about 90 seconds, using tongs, rotate 45 degrees and cook for another 2 minutes. Flip the breasts and do the same on the other side. Once you have nice grill marks on both sides, move to medium heat and cook, turning often, until an instant-read meat thermometer, placed in the thickest part of a breast, reads 160ºF on a meat thermometer. Transfer to a cutting board and let the breasts rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the relish.

CHICKEN WITH PINEAPPLE SAUCE



Chicken with Pineapple Sauce image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (3 pound) roasting chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 ripe pineapple, peeled, cored and chopped, juices reserved
2 medium onions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cinnamon stick
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup dry sherry
1 to 2 cups chicken stock (optional)
1/4 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Place the chicken pieces in a heavy bottomed saucepan or casserole. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Top the chicken with the pineapple chunks, pineapple juices, onions, red bell pepper, garlic, cinnamon stick and bay leaf. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar and sherry, and pour evenly over the top of the chicken. Add chicken stock, if needed, to cover the chicken pieces with liquid. (If you use canned pineapple chunks, the pineapple juice can be used instead of the chicken stock).
  • Cover loosely and simmer over low heat until the chicken is tender and the sauce is reduced, about 45 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick and bay leaf.
  • Transfer the chicken, fruit and vegetables to individual plates and sprinkle with the almonds. Serve over rice and pour the sauce over the top.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will result in a more flavorful and enjoyable dish. This is especially important for the pineapple relish, as the sweetness of the pineapple and the spiciness of the jalapeño peppers are key flavors in the dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  • Make the pineapple relish ahead of time: The pineapple relish can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the grilled chicken with your favorite sides: This dish is great served with rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Grilled chicken with pineapple relish is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, while the pineapple relish adds a sweet and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
