Perfect recipe for summery outdoor dinners.
Easy and fun to make; just cut those fruits and vegetable, throw them on to the grill and enjoy.
Super juicily seasoned grilled chicken topped with fresh pineapples and some tangy teriyaki sauce, wrapped in soft pita bread. A delicious quick summery dish.
Not to forget the Pineapple’s benefits that you are adding to your dish.
I like to add pineapple whenever I can in my cooking because of its health benefits.
It’s high in fiber and, unlike any other fruit, pineapples contain a significant amount of Bromelain which an enzyme that helps digestion.
And because of its bromelain levels, pineapples can help reduce excessive blood coagulation.
This makes pineapples a perfect and healthy addition to your recipes, as well as a very good snack on its own. Not to mention how refreshing and moist it is. It is perfect for hot summer days.
Even though this recipe’s instructions are for indoor cooking, it is very easy to switch from pan to grill and take it to your backyard BBQ.
