Grilled Hawaiian BBQ Chicken with Pineapple Honey Chipotle Grillin' Beans will be your new favorite Memorial Day, Labor Day and 4th of July meal!
A DELICIOUS GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE
I have a twofer for y'all today. This could be your whole Memorial Day meal right here. It's a unique take on the usual grilled BBQ chicken but it's ridiculously easy. And because we're grilling all of it - it makes for easy clean up and we're keeping the dirty dishes to a minimum. The pineapple in the beans and the pineapple juice in the chicken marinade makes this the perfect powerhouse combination.

HONEY CHIPOTLE GRILLIN' BEANS
Really, it is no different than adding something sweet like molasses or brown sugar. But in this case, the pineapple doesn't add crazy-sweetness but it adds texture. And it's that texture that really adds a whole new dimension of flavor I think you will really love! Combine all of that with the sweet and smoky flavor of grilled pineapple (like those of the BUSH'S Honey Chipotle Grillin' Beans) and you are gonna elevate your Memorial Day BBQ to the next level!

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)
for the chicken:
- pineapple slices in pineapple juice (not heavy syrup)
- BBQ sauce
- soy sauce
- minced garlic
- vegetable (or olive) oil
- boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- chopped cilantro, for serving (optional)

For the beans:
- BUSH’S® Honey Chipotle Grillin’ Beans®
- sweet onion
- crushed pineapple, drained

HOW TO MAKE GRILLED HAWAIIAN BBQ CHICKEN:
Drain pineapple juice into a medium bowl, set aside sliced pineapple for later use. Add BBQ sauce, soy sauce, garlic and oil to pineapple juice and whisk together well.

Place chicken breasts into zip-top resealable bag. Pour half the marinade into the bag. Seal up the bag and ensure the chicken is coated well with the marinade. Place into the refrigerator and marinate for at least an hour (overnight is best).

Cover the rest of the BBQ sauce with plastic wrap and place into the refrigerator for later.

For the beans: Spray a grill-safe, 10-inch skillet with nonstick cooking spray. Pour both cans of BUSH’S® Honey Chipotle Grillin’ Beans® into skillet.

Add in diced onion

And drained, crushed pineapple.

Stir well.

Preheat grill to low heat (35of degrees). Place beans on the grill and cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring once during cooking, until thickened and bubbly.

Meanwhile, remove chicken from bag (discarding the bag and marinade) and grill chicken for 6-8 minutes on each side until internal temperature reaches 165f degrees.

Carefully remove beans once finished cooking, then add pineapple slices to the grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until slightly charred.

When chicken is finished cooking, brush with reserved sauce.

Top with chopped cilantro and serve with grilled pineapple slices and beans.

I have always added crushed pineapple to my baked beans.
I add crushed pineapple to a lot of dishes I make.
I add a little to Cole slaw. I add some to our sweet potatoes at holiday time.
