Island Chicken with Pineapple Salsa
16 ounces boneless, skinless chicken
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened crushed pineapple, juice only, (reserve fruit for salsa)
1 T. low-sodium soy sauce
1 T. honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
Pineapple from strained can
3/4 C. brown sugar
1 mango, peeled and diced
2 kiwis, peeled and diced
1/4 C. red onion, diced fine
1 lime, juiced
1 T. cilantro, chopped
1 T. jalapeno pepper, diced fine (optional)
Open pineapple and strain to separate juice from fruit. Place juice in a baking dish. Add soy sauce, honey, garlic and red pepper to the dish and stir. Slice chicken breasts into 4 4-ounce strips. If thick, pound out to flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Prepare salsa by combining all ingredients. Preheat grill to medium heat or turn on broiler and place rack in the middle of the oven, about 6″ away from the heat source. Grill or broil chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until the meat is no longer pink. Serve with fruit salsa.
