Prepare Chicken

Trim chicken and slice breasts in half widthwise. Pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet or the bottom of a pan. (Not super flat, just even.)

Make Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, 1 tsp lime zest, ¼ cup lime juice, minced garlic, honey, cumin, coriander, and about ½ tsp each salt and pepper. Set aside 3 tablespoons of the marinade.

Marinate Chicken

Add the rest of the marinade to the chicken in a large resealable bag. Seal and knead to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2–3 hours (no longer than 4 hours).

Preheat Grill

To cook this on the stovetop, see note 3. Otherwise, heat grill or grill pan to medium-high (about 400°F). Oil the grates well with a paper towel soaked in vegetable oil (use tongs to hold the towel).

Grill Pineapple

Optional: Grill Pineapple. (See note 1.) Rub pineapple strips with 1–2 teaspoons vegetable oil. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly charred. Let cool slightly, then finely dice.

Grill Chicken

Remove chicken from the marinade (discard marinade). Grill for 4–6 minutes per side, or until internal temperature is 160°F. Baste with reserved marinade while grilling and after flipping. Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Make Salsa

In a large bowl, combine diced pineapple, cilantro, jalapeño, and red onion. Add 2 tbsp lime juice, cumin, and salt & pepper to taste (about ¼ tsp salt and pinch of pepper). Toss gently. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add a drizzle of honey if you want it sweeter or a drizzle of olive oil if you'd like it richer.

Serve Over Rice

Slice or chop the chicken. Serve over rice with pineapple salsa and diced avocado on top. Enjoy!
