Have you ever had tried grilled pineapple? If not, try this recipe!! It is so good! Tonight we grilled chicken and pineapple kebabs with grilled veggies and a baked sweet potato sprinkled with cinnamon for dinner. The chicken kebabs would also be amazing with the coconut cauliflower rice I posted a few days ago. Click here for that recipe.
I marinated the chicken in one of my favorite marinates: lime juice and olive oil. It’s that simple, but it adds a lot of flavor to the chicken and keeps it moist. This marinate is also good if you add honey( I did not to make the recipe whole 30 compliant).
I used two tools for this dinner that I recommend. The first is this pineapple corer from pampered chef. It makes prep time a breeze. The other is a vegetable grilling basking. I found mine at Home Depot but here is one from Amazon. Vegetables such as zucchini, squash, onions, and peppers work very well on the grill.
