Ingredients

  • 1.25 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Cajun Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple cubes
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice divided
  • fresh cilantro optional for garnishing

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat oven to 425F.
  2. Place 4 large sheets of foil on the counter and evenly distribute the chicken to the center of each piece of foil.
  3. Evenly drizzle with olive oil, about 1 tablespoon per piece of foil.
  4. Evenly season with Cajun seasoning, to taste.
  5. Evenly season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  6. Evenly distribute the pineapple in a mound over the chicken, about 1/2 cup pineapple per sheet of foil.
  7. Evenly add the lime juice right over the pineapple, about 1 tablespoon per sheet of foil.
  8. Seal up the foil packs very tightly, place them on the grill and grill for about 8 1/2 to 10 minutes. Exact grilling time will vary based on the type of grill, the size, the heat level, how thick the chicken is, etc. If you’re baking these in the oven, I would start checking at 15 minutes and go from there.
  9. Optionally garnish with cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Recipe is best warm and fresh but will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
