Prep Time:35 min

Start to Finish:40 min

makes:4 servings

1/4	cup teriyaki baste and glaze
1/4	cup pineapple preserves
1	tablespoon lime juice
2	tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
4	boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 lb)
1/2	teaspoon black and red pepper blend
1/4	teaspoon salt
4	slices fresh pineapple (3/4 inch thick)

1.	Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small saucepan, mix teriyaki glaze, pineapple preserves and lime juice. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until preserves are melted. Stir in cilantro. Set aside.
2.	Sprinkle all sides of each chicken breast with pepper blend and salt. Place on grill over medium heat. Cook 10 minutes, turning once.

Great summertime recipe.

This recipe is fabulous. I first found it a couple years ago and have been making it ever since. Its a great alternative to traditional summertime barbecue food like hamburgers and hot dogs. I never realized cooking fruit on the grill could be so amazing.

Pineapple goodness!

Very tasty. It is a little bit more time-consuming than I would like, but the taste more than makes up for it. Also, I have found that no matter fully melt. As a slight alteration, I make white rice and double the basting mixture. After I baste the chicken and pineapple I add a little pineapple juice to the mixture and pour it over the rice. Delicious!
