Here's what you need:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 8-ounce can unsweetened pineapple chunks 

in their own juice
peeled and diced mango

1/3 cup diced red bell pepper

1/3 cup diced red onion

2 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

1 tsp. Seeded and minced jalapeño

½ tsp. ground ginger

1/3 cup soy sauce

firmly packed brown sugar

1 garlic clove crushed

 

 

Here's how to make it:


Drain the pineapple chunks, reserving the juice. Combine the pineapple, mango, red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice and jalapeño pepper in a bowl and stir well. Cover and chill. Combine reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic in a large plastic zip top bag. Add chicken breasts; seal the bag; and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally.

Prepare your grill or a grill pan. Remove the chicken from the bag, reserving the marinade. Place chicken on the grill and cook about 3 or 4 minutes per side, brushing occasionally with marinade until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve the chicken breasts with the pineapple/mango salsa.
