Island Chicken

We had a little BYOM bbq with the fam tonight and this is what Derek and I had.  It was really good.  Just the right kick from the jerk seasoning and just the right sweetness from the pineapple.

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (obviously Derek and I can't eat 2 lbs on our own, so we scaled this down a bit)
2-4 T olive oil
2 tsp Jamaican or Caribbean jerk seasoning
1 20 oz can pineapple slices, juices reserved
1 T brown sugar

Preheat grill.  Rinse chicken under cold water, pat dry with paper towels.  Use a pastry brush to brush with olive oil and sprinkle with jerk seasoning (don't put too much on, it's spicy).  Set aside.

Drain pineapple slices and reserve the juice.  In a small saucepan, bring juice and brown sugar to a boil over high heat.  Reduce liquid by 1/2, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat and set aside.

Place chicken on grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side or until cooked through.  Remove to platter and tent with foil to keep warm and let rest.

Place pineapple slices on grill and cook 1-2 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through.  Serve chicken with pineapple slices and warm sauce.

*Chicken and pineapple can be broiled instead of grilled.
