Pineapple-Mustard Grilled Chicken



My hubby has done it again!  Yet another amazing summer grilling recipe :)  This chicken is sweet, tangy, fruity, and just a hint spicy... the perfect blend of everything.  I served it over top of coconut rice with steamed broccoli and it was absolutely amazing!

Ingredients:
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 (20 oz.) can sliced pineapple, in juice, juice reserved
1 tsp olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried tarragon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions:
In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, oil, garlic, tarragon, salt, and black pepper; set pineapple slices aside for later.  Pour half of the mixture into a separate bowl.  Add chicken to one serving of sauce to marinate; allow to marinate for 5 – 10 minutes.  Meanwhile heat grill.  When grill is heated place marinated chicken on grill; cook 10 – 15 minutes or until chicken is completely cooked through.  When chicken has about 5 to 6 minutes cooking time remaining add pineapple to grill; cook until warmed.  While chicken is cooking, pour reserved sauce into a small saucepan and cook until reduced and thickened.  Serve chicken with sauce over top.  Serves 4.
