There is just something about grilled chicken. It’s so….
What is it? It’s so….
Tender on the inside, and a bit crisp on the outside.
It’s so……perfect.
This is a simple marinade for any kind of chicken. It gave the chicken a lovely, sorta sweet, flavor!

It is getting to grilling season and this looks and sounds really good!
Yummy! I’m going to try this out this weekend!
Ooh, our kids would like this one! And I have some pineapple-orange juice to use! Yay!
ohh not only does it have the taste of grilled but the smell of chicken being grilled is sooo delicious!!! There is just something great about grilling food and and the smell is wonderful!!!
Sounds yummy!, I like to marinate my chicken with the juices of one or two lemons and a lime if I have it. I like to stock pineapple chunks cans in my pantry so this with be a nice thing to try when I am out of lemons.
Yum this is on my meal plan this week! I found a great Pineapple Mango relish on allrecipes that sounded good to serve on top. They had mangoes on sale at Walmart for $.84 so I picked up a couple. Love those sale items!
we made this tonight. The chicken tasted like chicken. There was no juice flavor at all. I love pineapples with chicken so we will try it again. Next time, I’ll marinade the chicken overnight!
