  • 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar
  • 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella

Pineapple Chicken Tenders

Preparation Time: 1 hour and 10 minutes

Servings: 10

  • 1 cup of pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup of packed, brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup of light soy sauce
  • 2 pounds of chicken breast tenderloins or strips
  • Wooden skewers

  1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, mix pineapple juice, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Remove from heat just before the mixture comes to a boil.
  2. Place chicken tenders in a medium bowl. Cover with the pineapple marinade you mixed, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat grill for medium heat. Thread chicken lengthwise onto wooden skewers.
  4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill chicken tenders 5 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. They cook quickly, so watch them closely.

Grilled Pork Chops

Preparation Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes

Servings: 4

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • Eight 1/2-inch bone-in pork chops (about 3 ounces each)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Begin by making the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, oil, vinegar, cumin and red pepper flakes.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper and place in a resealable plastic bag with the marinade. Let them rest on the counter for 1 hour.
  3. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Remove the pork chops from the bag and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and cook until the pork chop releases from the grill, after about 4 minutes.
  4. Flip and cook on the other side for another 3 minutes. If you are using a grill pan, be sure to do this in batches so you don’t steam the chops. If you have neither, you can do this in a pan.
