Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Salsa

Published: March 8, 2021 · Courtney Rushing

Jerk Chicken and Pineapple Salsa

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts pounded to even 1/2 inch thickness – see note
  • steamed white rice for serving optional

chicken marinade

  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • juice of 2 limes 2-3 tablespoons
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 teaspoons allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili pepper

pineapple salsa

  • 1 cup pineapple grilled and then diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, diced
  • large handful cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 jalapeno, diced optional
  • 1 1/2 avocado, grilled and diced
  • juice and zest of 1 lime
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a medium bowl stir together all marinade ingredients. Add the chicken, toss to coat. Cover and chill for 30 minutes.
  • While the chicken is marinating, grill the avocado and pineapple. I like to half the avocado and drizzle the flesh with a little honey and salt to help it caramelize. The avocado is then placed flesh side down on the grill for 2-3 mins. The pineapple takes 2-3 mins per side.
  • Dice the avocado and pineapple once grilled and combine all salsa ingredients in a bowl and toss to combine. Chill until ready to use.
  • Use tongs to transfer chicken to a preheated grill or skillet over medium heat and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  • Serve chicken with pineapple salsa.

Deload week. What is it? Why do we need it? What do we do with our caloric intake? 

Swipe to learn!

Believe me, if you’re doing #tightertogether , this week is crucial to aid with weeks 4 and 5! If your carb cycling, keep carb cycling. If you’re at maintenance, stay at maintenance. If you’re building your plate, keep building that plate! Your body deserves food with or without training. 

This week comes at a perfect time for me as I am heading to the beach for a wedding. I plan to take it easy and provide my body a lot of rest!

Tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to aid with muscle recovery?!

Do you struggle to see lasting change when dieting alone? You might not be looking at the entire picture. Health is multifaceted, and all areas need to be considered. Your sleep, what you breathe, your emotions, your physical fitness, and your nutrition all play key roles in achieving your goals.
