Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken
Vicki Roberts likes to marinate this moist chicken entrée overnight, then pops it on her grill in Jacksonville, Florida for a breezy taste of the islands that family and friends really go for.
TIP: Use leftover pineapple slices to make the quick and easy Pineapple Salad available on our Recipe Finder.

INGREDIENTS
- 1 can (20 ounces) sliced pineapple
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 4 slices provolone cheese
DIRECTIONS
Drain pineapple, reserving juice; refrigerate pineapple. In a small bowl, combine teriyaki sauce and reserved juice. Pour 3/4 cup marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add chicken. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade for basting.
Drain and discard marinade. Grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 4-6 minutes on each side or until juices run clear, basting frequently with some of the remaining marinade.
Grill eight pineapple slices for 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned, basting with remaining marinade (save remaining pineapple for another use). Top each piece of chicken with cheese and two pineapple slices. Grill, covered, for 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 4 servings.
