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 😉

Sounds delicious and comforting. That salsa is so colorful!
This is my kind of meal! You got your salad on your chicken. It’s a win, win.
Kelly, your relish sounds and looks fantastic. I’m going to fire up the grill this weekend and give it a try. I’m thinking it would be great on fish tacos too.
I could eat an entire pineapple in one sitting. This sounds absolutely delicious and your photos are equisite (as always) 🙂
Another amazing dish! I never buy chicken thighs, only breasts. I thinked you’ve convinced me to try them out! This sounds soo good!
That is a recipe that would make my taste buds happy! I love pineapple in savory dishes! Thanks for this one Kelly! And great pics! 🙂
This sounds delicious! I’d have to double the recipe, too!
Fresh ingredients and gorgeous presentation. Love it!
This sounds super good. My sister in law made a salsa similar to this, but with mango and it was a hit. I am sure this is as good.
Oh wow – now that looks like an awesome dinner! Love the pineapple relish on top of that chicken – I bet it would be great on some fish tacos as well =)
