This dish goes great with a salad in the summer. It sounds complicated and the flavors are complicated, but it is SO EASY!

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
caribbean jerk seasoning
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple slices
1 lime
2 tablespoons vinegar
1/2 cup coconut rum (I use Parrot Bay)
cayenne pepper (to taste)
4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons I Can't Believe It's Not ButterĀ® Spread
1 teaspoon cilantro
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Heat grill and spray with nonstick spray.
  • Rub jerk seasoning into chicken.
  • Grill chicken 8-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • In a saucepan, pour juice from canned pineapple, rum and vinegar.
  • Chop one slice of pineapple into very small pieces and add to the saucepan.
  • Zest the lime into the pan.
  • Simmer over medium - low heat until the liquid reduces by half.
  • Add cilantro, butter, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste.
  • simmer for a few minutes on low.
  • place sliced pineapple on hot grill and cook 2-3 minutes per side--just enough to leave grill marks.
  • serve chicken with pineapple on top and sauce poured over.
  • Squeeze the juice of the lime over the dish.
  • I like to serve it with a fresh summer salad--the sauce makes a nice dressing when cooled.
