Ingredients:
| 1/4 cup | extra-virgin olive oil |
| 1 | small onion, finely chopped |
| 1 clove | garlic, finely chopped |
| 1/2 cup | honey |
| 2 teaspoons | hot pepper sauces |
| 1/2 teaspoon | chili powder |
| 1 teaspoon | lemon juice |
| 8 | skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 4 pounds) |
| salt | |
| 1 | pineapple peeled, cored and cut into 8 thick rings |
Directions:
In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the honey, hot pepper sauce and chili powder and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and set aside.
Preheat a grill or large grill pan to medium-high. Rub the chicken with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt. Grill until well marked, about 7 minutes. Flip and cook until the bottoms are well marked and the chicken is cooked through, another 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and brush with the reserved honey glaze. Cover with foil and let rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, grill the pineapple until well marked on one side, about 4 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken.
