Ingredients

  • 2 LBS boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, and sliced into 1/2" thick rounds

BBQ Marinade

  • 1 cup BBQ sauce we prefer Primal Kitchen
  • 2 tsp granulated garlic
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red chilis

For Serving

  • 1 tomato, sliced into rounds
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 head butter or red/green leaf lettuce, leaves washed and separated

Instructions

  • Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and spray with cooking oil
  • Add the BBQ sauce and marinade spices to a bowl and stir to combine. Set aside 1/4 cup-1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the rest over the chicken. Rub the marinade so that it completely covers the chicken. You can cook the chicken right away or you can put in a resealable bag and let it sit in the marinade for up to 8 hours
  • Add the chicken to the grill and cook until it has reached an internal temperature of 165, about 7-8 minutes per side
  • Remove chicken from the grill and turn heat down to medium. Add the pineapple and grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until you see dark grill marks.
  • To serve, layer the chicken, pineapple, tomato, and onion on a lettuce leaf. Drizzle with reserved marinade and then top with an additional lettuce leaf.
