For a smokier flavor, add a handful of wood chips to your grill. Adjust the amount of jalapeño to suit your spice preference. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes completely. If you don't have a grill, you can cook the chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. The pineapple salsa is also delicious served with grilled fish, shrimp, or pork. Garnish with lime wedges and extra cilantro for a vibrant presentation.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable bag. Gently pound them to an even 1-inch thickness using a meat mallet. This ensures even cooking. Brush both sides of the chicken with olive oil and generously sprinkle with Jamaican jerk seasoning. (10 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Craft the Pineapple Salsa: In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red bell pepper, jalapeño pepper, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Gently toss to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The salsa can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Grill the Chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts on the preheated grill. Reduce the heat to medium. Grill for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. Avoid overcooking, which can result in dry chicken. (14 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Rest and Serve: Transfer the grilled chicken to a clean plate or cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before topping with the freshly made pineapple salsa. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken. Serve immediately and enjoy!
