Ingredients

3/4 cup pineapple crushed
1 tbsp ginger grated or minced fresh
1 clove garlic large, grated or minced
2 tbsp soy sauce sodium reduced
2 tsp olive oil extra virgin or canola oil
1 lb chicken breasts boneless skinless, (about 3 to 4 small)
2 tbsp mint chopped, fresh
1/2 tsp hot pepper sauce

Instructions

In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the pineapple, ginger, garlic, soy sauce and oil; set aside.
Remove tenderloin from chicken and reserve for another use.
On a cutting board, slice chicken breasts in half crosswise almost all the way through and open up like a book. Add to marinade, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Place chicken breasts on preheated medium high grill for about 8 minutes, turning a few times or until no longer pink inside.
Stir mint and hot pepper sauce into remaining pineapple and serve with grilled chicken.
