I think this recipe from Liz Jarnagin of Monroe is my favorite of the three that she’s sent in over the years (Jarnagin also sent in the 30-minute Chicken Cordon Bleu that recently ran here). She writes: “This is a total throwback to the Polynesian chicken of the ’70s. The sweet and slightly salty relish is very tasty. It’s really good served over rice.”
I agree, the pineapple relish had a great balance of flavors and complemented the smoky grilled chicken perfectly. The chicken can be cooked on an indoor or outdoor grill or broiled. If you prefer white meat, choose boneless breasts.
