Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the pineapple juice, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Add the boneless chicken breasts and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18-20 minutes until cooked.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Plantains

    Peel the plantains and slice them diagonally into thick slices. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the plantain slices until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Top with diced pineapple pieces while grilling for added flavor.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Salad

    In a bowl, toss the mixed salad greens with your favorite dressing.

  6. 6

    Serve

    On a plate, serve the grilled chicken topped with pineapple, a side of rice, fried plantains, and the salad.
