Hawaiian Chicken

~1 ½ lbs chicken tenderloins

7-8 pieces

½ fresh ripe pineapple

¼ cup pineapple juice

¼ cup soy sauce

3 T ketchup

2 T brown sugar

5-6 cloves fresh garlic

2 T canola oil

2 T honey

Hawaiian Chicken In a food processor or blender, blend pineapple juice, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, fresh garlic, and canola oil to create the marinade for the chicken. Add chicken and marinade into a zip lock bag, mix well to ensure all chicken tenderloins are covered with marinate. Marinate for 1 hour, or up to 24 hours (the longer the better!). Grease a grill pan, cast iron grill, charcoal grill, electric grill, or non-stick skillet. Cook chicken until it reaches 165 degrees F. Flip halfway through. Once chicken is done, brush honey on both sides of the tenderloins and remove. Slice pineapple into ½ to 1-inch-thick slices and grill on both sides.
