Preparation

Step 1

Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, so that you end up with two thinly sliced breasts for each breast you cut in half (or cut into chicken tenders, if you prefer).
Place chicken in a glass baking dish.
In a small bowl, add remaining ingredients and whisk together until well combined.
Pour marinade over the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes prior to grilling, but no more than 45 minutes prior to grilling, otherwise the chicken will become mushy.
Then, preheat grill until hot. Grill chicken about 2-3 minutes per side, until cooked through.
Remove chicken from grill, place on plate and cover with aluminum foil. Allow to sit 3-5 minutes before serving.
When ready to serve, top with a heaping dollop of fresh pineapple salsa and cilantro rice!
