Tips:

• If you don't have a grill, you can bake the chicken breast in a preheated oven at 375 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
• To make this recipe ahead of time, marinate the chicken breast in the refrigerator overnight. Then, grill the chicken breast and add the pineapple chunks just before serving.
