So this weekend ended up being amazing!! Dave and Jamie had a GORGEOUS wedding overlooking DC and my friends and I had a fabulous time at the super fun piano bar Bobby McKeys at the National Harbor!
Now that the weekend is over its back to the grind. I must say last night turned out to be absolutely gorgeous so me and the boy decided wine and grilling out would be the perfect way to finish off our day. Our vacation to Smith Mountain Lake is rapidly approaching so we’re REALLY trying to eat healthier and I knew this recipe would be perfect for us! Adapted from Cooking Light, this meal was delicious, satisfying and most of all super nutritious!
Did I mention it tasted amazing?? Yeah it really did.
My favorite part was definitely the pineapple relish which tasted incredible completely on its own! Next time I plan on doubling the recipe and bringing some to work for a yummy snack. We paired the chicken with some grilled squash and fresh veggies for a complete summer meal. Oh and the wine wasn’t bad either 😉

I recently started WW with a friend. She shared this site with me and that afternoon I made the Grilled Chicken Thighs with Pineapple, Corn and Bell Pepper Relish. It was amazing! Thank you!
I found the following modification wonderfully delicious: Double the seasoning mix, cook each breast about five minutes per side, using about 1/4 tsp of the seasoning mix per side while cooking. Transfer the breasts to a baking dish, cover with the relish, sprinkle with the remainder of the seasoning mix, and bake at 350 for 30 to 40 minutes (depends on the thickness of the breasts). Yum!
I don’t usually post comments, but this time I have to…Oh my! Was this good! Thank you for the healthy and delicious idea!!
Love loved this even my children loved it…
