Recipe View 6 mins Cook the chicken and pineapple slices on the preheated grill until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and the pineapple slices are nicely marked, about 6 minutes. Serve the chicken breasts topped with a slice of grilled pineapple, and a dollop of the sour cream sauce.

For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken over charcoal instead of gas.
If you don't have fresh pineapple, canned pineapple rings (drained well) can be used. Just be sure to pat them dry before grilling.
The sour cream sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

    I was a little skeptical about the tequila in the marinade, but it really added a unique flavor. I will definitely make this again!
