Pin This RecipeGrilled chicken is a favorite in our house. We usually grill up a big batch on Sunday to eat for lunch during the week. This week we made this Honey Pineapple Grilled Chicken, and it was crazy delicious! It was so good, that we made a second batch yesterday to get us through the week! The leftovers are great on a salad or in a sandwich wrap. YUM!
This Honey Pineapple Grilled Chicken is very simple but packs a ton of flavor! There are only three simple ingredients in the marinade – honey, pineapple juice and Italian dressing. Seriously delicious!!!
You can let the chicken marinate for an hour or overnight. We always marinate this chicken overnight. I mix up the marinade before I got to bed and let the chicken hang out in the refrigerator until we are ready to grill. I used chicken tenders this time, but this marinade is great on chicken breasts and thighs too!
This chicken was a huge hit at our house. We’ve made it several times and love it. This is great with some green beans, asparagus, pasta, or a salad. Here are a few of our favorite recipes from the blog that go great with this chicken:

Can this be done in the crockpot?
Any specifics on marinating time? One hour to overnight is a big time difference. Thanks for your thoughts.
At least an hour. I always marinate overnight. I make it before I go to bed and pull it out the next day when we are ready to cook it.
If I pan sear do I want to use butter, olive oil, or no oil? Thanks it sounds delicious can’t wait to try.
I was wondering if you could grill it on an air fryer?
Sure – an air fryer is just a convection oven. So you can bake the chicken if you prefer.
I am making this tonight!!😁 is it Italian salad dressing that you use or a dry packet style of Italian dressing?? Thank you!!
Italian salad dressing
Thank you…I was wondering the same thing!!
When I buy a 40 lb case of chicken, I make up this marinade and prep the chicken in each bag and freeze it with the marinade. I can pull it out just before bed and put it in the fridge and it’s ready for grilling got dinner the next night! I’m horrible about remembering to marinade on time, so I do it with my freezer meal prep stuff. Makes my life that much simpler!
My family loves when I do fresh pineapple slices marinated in brown sugar then grilled! Serve with coconut rice and everyone is full and happy!
Brilliant! Great tip!
A go-to restaurant at our house.. great with grilled pineapple and rice pilaf
I think some grilled fresh pineapple would taste amazing with this.
Hi – How about chicken breasts? Would this recipe be good for 2 large? 4? Thanks!
