Grilled Chicken and Pineapple

Jared got a new grill and I grilled last night, even though it is still pretty cool out. The little boy next door (age 5) was outside swinging and every time his little hooded blond head popped up he would yell over to me, "That grilling sure smells good!" or "Is it ready yet?" or when I was getting ready to take it in, "See you later! Have a nice dinner!" He also told me that his grill is old and all his dad could make on it is hot dogs! No wonder it smelled so good to him. I love this recipe for grilled chicken and pineapple. It has a great marinade, too. You could also do this with same marinade for shrimp and do them on skewers with chunks of pineapple on the grill.
