Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup BBQ sauce your favorite brand or homemade
20 oz. sliced pineapple rings, juice reserved
¼ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger.
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place them in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates if needed.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6–7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
During the last 2–3 minutes of cooking, brush both sides of the chicken with the BBQ sauce. Place the pineapple rings on the grill and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly charred.
Transfer the chicken and pineapple to a serving platter. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Top each chicken breast with grilled pineapple rings and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

Grill at medium-high heat for a smoky exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
