Ingredients

Chicken

2 pounds chicken breasts boneless and skinless

Marinade

½ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Tropical Salsa

½ cup pineapple finely diced
½ cup oranges finely diced
2 tablespoons cilantro chopped
½ jalapeno cored and finely diced
½ tablespoon soy sauce or coconut aminos

Instructions

Add chicken breasts and all marinade ingredients to a large ziploc bag. (If using chicken breasts that are quite thick, slice horizontally to create thin cutlets. This helps us cook the chicken faster and gets us better browning on all sides.) Remove excess air from the bag and seal closed. Let chicken marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
While chicken is marinating combine all tropical salsa ingredients together in a bowl and stir.
Place your marinated chicken on the grill. Grill for 5-7 minutes, flip, grill other side for 5-7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Cooking time varies depending on the thickness of your chicken.
Remove chicken from grill and top with the tropical salsa.

Notes

Nutritional information is based on serving size being two chicken cutlets (1 full breast). You could possibly serve 6 - 8 with this recipe since there are 8 cutlets; however, some of those may be a little small.
