Barbecued Island Chicken

Moist, easy and full of summer flavors! A great recipe that will remind you a breezy night on a tropical island. This recipe is loved by all ages as it is savory yet sweet from the pineapple juice and has an almost caramel flavor from the brown sugar. Preparation time includes allowing chicken to marinate. Stevia can replace brown sugar but I do not have the correct amount needed for this. Also please note that the fat and calorie count is incorrect as you discard most of the marinade. Enjoy!
SERVES 4 -6 , 6 breasts
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing, bottled
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint, chopped
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 6 pineapple slices, grilled (optional)
Directions
1
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except chicken.2
In a large, shallow non-aluminum baking dish or plastic bag, pour 1 cup marinade over chicken (Reserve the remaining 3/4 cup marinade in fridge for later); turn to coat.3
Cover or close bag and marinate in the refrigerator, turning occasionally, for at least 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.4
Remove chicken from marinade, discarding marinade.5
Grill or broil chicken, brushing with refrigerated marinade, until chicken is no longer pink.6
Serve, if desired, with grilled pineapple wedges.

I love this recipe! I just made it for our Labor Day cook out and it was a huge hit at my house. Everyone loved the flavor the chicken and wanted the recipe. I maranated my chicken overnight and the flavors still were not too strong. I will make this more often! Thanks for posting.

This chicken was full of flavours. We could taste the subtil taste of mint 
Delicious. It's a great blend of flavours. It was in the marinade for 3 hours. But I wonder if it would be ok overnight. Thanks Nancy. We enjoyed it a lot and we have leftover for tomorrow Made for Beverage tag

Our family is really big into BBQ food and this recipe is great. Now if we only lived by the beach it would make the perfect mood for the perfect BBQ chicken.
