GRILLED PINEAPPLE CHICKEN (PALEO + WHOLE30)

The flavor of the chicken marinade for this recipes is like a cleaned up Hawaiian BBQ sauce. It’s a little smoky, a little sweet and will have you licking the extras off your fingers! We use all real food ingredients unlike many store-bought sauces and marinades and dates are our primary sweetener, keeping this one Whole30 compliant if that’s your thing!

If you’ve never had grilled pineapple before, you are in for a real treat! We love grilling veggies AND fruits during the summer. There is just something real special about it. Some of our favorite grilled fruits are pineapple (obviously) and also stone fruit, like peaches, nectarines, plums, etc. We’ve also tried watermelon, cantaloupe and mango as well! Seriously, start playing with grilled fruits – you won’t regret it!
