Summer is on the horizon. Finally! I’m so ready to spend more time outside – if it would just. stop. raining. here. Nonetheless, there is nothing I love more than firing up the grill for a light and delicious dinner. This girl is not sweating over the stove or testing the central air’s power with a 350 degree oven.
Today, I tossed some chicken in a lovely pineapple cilantro marinade. If you love pineapple and grilled chicken, you’ll love this recipe! Incredibly easy and delicious!
In our house, we rarely have leftovers. However, if you happen to, this chicken is also really tasty tossed into a salad.
