BBQ and Grilling

Directions

Step 1

Combine coconut milk Hawaiian marinade and garlic powder in a dish large enough to marinate the chicken breasts. Add chicken. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator turning every 3 to 4 hours about 24 hours.

Step 2

Combine coconut milk cinnamon vanilla extract and butter flavoring in a dish. Add pineapple. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place chicken on hot grill; discard marinade. Cook chicken without pressing or poking and flipping only twice until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a platter; let rest for 4 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Place pineapple on the hot grill and cook on medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer grilled pineapple to the platter with the chicken.
