This was fabulous! And it was so easy to prepare, too. The pineapple salsa was really wonderful with the grilled chicken. I made it as written and didn't make any adjustments. We all really enjoyed it. My photo isn't as enticing as the others, but the dish is honestly quite delicious. I served the Grilled Chicken with Black Bean, Corn and Tomato Relish (as a side salad) and Baked Bananas. It was a great meal! Thanks, PanNan. Made for Culinary Quest 2017 (Central America).

Terrific chicken and the pineapple salsa was great. I only added a pinch or two of red pepper flakes, took the seeds out of the jalapeno and used parsley instead of cilantro. Marinated the chicken for 8 hours and made salsa 1/2 hour before grilling chicken. Enjoyed a bite of chicken with every bite of salsa! Easy and quick supper to make on a hot humid day. Thank you for sharing! Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest 2016 - Bahamas.
