Time 24m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 1/4 teaspoons salt-free Jamaican jerk seasoning, divided (recommended: The Spice Hunter)
Salt
1 (20-ounce) can no-sugar added pineapple slices, in juice with juice reserved (recommended: Dole)
1 tablespoon brown sugar

Steps:

Preheat grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat.
Remove any excess fat from chicken and rinse under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Use a pastry brush to brush with olive oil and season with 1 1/2 teaspoons jerk seasoning and salt, if desired. Set aside.
Drain pineapple slices and reserve juice. Season both sides of pineapple slices with 1/2 teaspoon of jerk seasoning; set aside.
In small saucepan, bring reserved pineapple juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon jerk seasoning, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat. Reduce liquid by 1/2, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Just before grilling, oil grate. Place chicken breasts on grate and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove to platter and tent with foil.
Place pineapple slices on grate and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through.
Serve chicken breasts with pineapple slices and warm sauce.
NOTE: Chicken may also be broiled 4 to 6 inches from heat source for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Broil pineapple 1 to 2 minutes per side.

Tips:

Use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs for added flavor and juiciness.
Brown the chicken before stewing to develop its flavor.
Add vegetables and herbs to the stew for a variety of flavors and textures.
Use a good quality broth for the stew, as it will greatly impact the flavor of the dish.
Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Serve the stew over rice, mashed potatoes, or noodles.
