As I mention last week, for this grilled chicken I used some of the juice from the pineapple cheesecake to marinate these chicken breasts. The grilled chicken breast are very tender due to the pineapple juice which contain enzymes that break the protein in chicken, therefore tenderize the chicken and gives them a nice flavor as well.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts split in half
3~4 cloves garlic mince
½ cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Parsley finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Add all the above ingredients to the chicken breast and refrigerate fro at least 2 hours. Grill the chicken breast and serve hot.

Great recipe, I used to make chicken with pineapple & celery, it was family favourite for a longer while.
Thank you for stopping by on my blog
I love the chicken an pineapple combo!!! That sounds easy and delicious!
ah! Josh would totally love this- he is a HUGE pineapple fan!!
oh this is such a great recipe love it
What a terrific idea to marinade chicken in pineapple juice, such excellent flavors!
I love the simplicity of this chicken Juliana. The pineapple juice sure will add that nice tropical flavor to it.
So clever Juliana! I don’t like to throw perfectly good food away so I like how you think!
I wonder if everyone loves pineapple as much as I do? It’s a natural with chicken. Love your marinade…it’s the flavor of the Caribbean!
It looks very moist, and must taste delicious too.
That chicken must be really tender thatnks to the pineapple juice! Lovely!
Cheers,
Rosa
Looks delicious!!
I just bought a pineapple and, god knows, I always have plenty of chicken. What a great idea, thanks! And…so simple!!!
I’ve been going through a real pinepple phase lately, so this looks delicious!
Oh wow I love grilled chicken and the pineapple juice sounds fabulous!
Mmmm, this looks delicious Julianna! I love the addition of pineapple juice- so yummy!
WOW! This is truly a mouth watering dish!
Yum! So Hawaiian-teriyaki-like. Don’t you love it when one leftover ingredient inspires a new dish that turns out to be a total keeper? I sure do!
I’m going to pick up a pineapple to try out this dish. Looks and sounds great!
Great idea! Thanks for the tip! I will know what to do with leftover pineapple juice now!
This looks delicious, Juliana. Yet another of your recipes I hope to try
This looks incredible. I’ll wager it tastes as good as it looks. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings…Mary
This really does look like a simple yet delicious dish!
I love pineapple glazes.. this sounds wonderful!
Yummy! My kids love pineapple and this is easy enough to make on a weeknight.

What you can do with a pineapple is a culinary treat for all and this dish is no exception. Chicken and pineapple are made to be toegther..along with that pineapple cheesecake for dessert
Excellent idea and so simple too. Must try it soon, barbecue this weekend
love the touch of pineapples in this dish
YUM! I love the addition of pineapple to this dish!
Oh, does this look wonderful! Is it really as easy as it looks? Thanks for posting it!
I get hungry looking at the grilled chicken.:)
I love pineapple, and I love grilling. SCORE!
I’ve been meaning to make some kind of dish with a pineapple marinade, thanks for sharing this rendition of a juicy dish!
This looks very delicious. I always use pineapple chunks for cooking. I have to try with pineapple juice next time.
Sounds like a great recipe. A little bit of a tropical twist with the pineapple juice–it looks so delicious and juicy!
Oooh good to know about the pineapple juice tenderizing the chicken! I rarely cook chicken because it comes out so dry sometimes but maybe I just haven’t been cooking it in the right marinades!
Great idea! I can imagine how tender and tasty it is!
Grilled chicken looks very inviting to me:) Like the pineapple juice in it…must be tangy and nice.:)
Oh gosh, this sounds lovely. I love that citrusy burst of pineapple juice, that isn’t too intense, but mellow and just sour enough, but overally sweet. I’d add a sprinkle of coconut and macadamia nuts just to go with the theme!
This is such a terrific marinade for chicken! I think I’ll be making this over the weekend! Thanks!
Sounds like a wonderful combo of flavors. Love it!
I have gotta try your method too to use the pineapple juice to tenderize the chicket fillets : )
how lovely, juliana! i’ve often had pineapple-flavored pork but i haven’t tried the sweet, tangy stuff with chicken. i’m sure it’s delicious–thanks for the idea!
Yum! I love marinating my chicken in citrus but it’s so rare for me to use pineapple juice. Next time for sure. Looks delicious!
It’s funny..I’m going to make some grilled pork with pineapple tomorrow..
What a great simple recipe! I love it!
How nice and delicious! I love the flavours in this =D.
oh, what a yummy dish! Love the pineapple-garlic combo.
Easy, Healthy, Tasty – what more could you want? Great meal!
I’d love to try this combi for sure! It must be delicious!
This dish sounds very Carribean! How interesting and delicious to marinate in pineapple juice!
Oh! I can already taste the pineapple and garlic combination! I knew that pineapple can’t be used to make a gelatin because of the enzymes you mentioned but it’s great that they’ll tenderize meat. A bite of these warm flavors and I’ll forget that there’s still snow on the ground!
This recipe makes me want summer! Looks great!
Yum, this chicken looks very tasty indeed! Love your blog. // Jennie
This looks incredible, Juliana! I bet the chicken was so tender and delicious with the pineapple juice!

I LOVE chicken with fruit flavors, my favorite chicken is my cilantro lime chicken but my family is sick of it! This is right down my ally, I can’t wait to try this!!! Oh my goodness I am so excited!
I can’t wait to try this recipe out. Sounds fantastic ! Lovely recipe. Thanks
Have never tried marinating chicken with pineapple juice. Sounds like a great marinade.
Thanks for posting this wonderful recipe.
Ummm, I have not used pineapple juice in a while either, and just looking at your photo makes me realize how tasty it is, the crust on that chicken is yummy!
I love marinated chicken, reminds me of summertime! Thanks for the recipe, I’ll have to give this one a try.
Perfect as the weather gets nicer! Finish with a nice coconut sorbet………….
