How to Make Island Chicken With Pineapple Salsa

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Marinate for at least 15 minutes (or longer for more intense flavor).
  3. While chicken marinates, prepare the salsa: Dice 1 cup fresh pineapple, 1/2 red onion, 1/2 red bell pepper, and 1/4 cup cilantro. Combine in a bowl with 2 tablespoons lime juice and a pinch of salt.
  4. Grill chicken for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Serve immediately, topping the grilled chicken with the pineapple salsa. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
