This Cilantro Pineapple Grilled Chicken recipe is a perfect way to start off the grilling season.
With warm weather comes the backyard bbq and my favorite way to celebrate summer with family and friends is to invite everyone over for grilled chicken.
Grilled chicken tastes so good when it is marinated in a citrus-based marinade like STUBB'S Citrus and Onion Chicken Marinade. It is the perfect combo of flavors for chicken.
STUBB'S has got you covered when it comes to easily making delicious barbeque at home.
After marinating boneless chicken breasts in STUBB'S Citrus and Onion Chicken Marinade, pineapple bits, and fresh cilantro I finished off the grilled chicken breasts with delicious STUBB'S Original BBQ Sauce.
The Cilantro Pineapple Grilled Chicken tastes so good! and is easy to make with just a few ingredients.
You can use any of your favorite barbecue sauce to make a delicious meal of grilled chicken.
Serve the Cilantro Pineapple Grilled Chicken with your favorite bbq side dish, my mango peach salsa and you have the perfect backyard grilled chicken recipe.
