Spicy Pineapple on Broiled Chicken

Ingredients:

-1/2 to 3/4 of a whole pineapple
-1 clove garlic
-1 can tomato sauce w/ jalepeno (I used one that was 7.75 oz)
-1/2 green bell pepper
-1/2 stalk green onions
-1 lime
-2 tblsp olive oil
-pepper & salt to taste

-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-"House Seasoning" -recipe for this is: 1 cup salt, 1/4 cup black pepper, 1/4 cup garlic power... credit to Paula Deen from http://foodnetwork.com/

Start with preheating the broiler. Whilst this is preheating, mix together pineapple, green pepper, green onions, lime, olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and tomato sauce. Whip this up a little bit, cover, and throw in the fridge. After that, coat the chicken breasts in oil and rub on as much of the house seasoning as you see fit. I put a lot because it added a nice bite to the chicken. I also added a little dab of butter to the tops of each, just to brown them better. Throw this in the broiler. Place chicken on baking sheet. Cook on each side for about 15 minutes or until cooked through ALL THE WAY! The chicken will emit a lot of juices... when your chicken is cooked, cut some slices in the top and pour that extra juice on top. Plate the chicken breasts by pouring the spicy pineapple sauce on top. We ate this with potato and extra pieces of green pepper. Great dish. Not hard, lots of chopping.

This dish was inspired by this one: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/grilled-tuna-with-pineapple-chipotle-salsa-recipe/index.html - we chose to go with chicken because it's much cheaper. We also didn't like the looks of the peppers in the adobo and didn't feel like getting too crazy so we ended up throwing our own sauce together, which turned out great!
