Grilled Chipotle Pineapple Chicken with Summer Vegetables

July 7, 2026

When summer is in full swing, simple, flavorful dinners are exactly what we crave. This Grilled Chipotle Pineapple Chicken is smoky, sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy — the perfect combination for an easy weeknight dinner, backyard cookout, or healthy meal after a weekend of celebrating.

Made with our Chipotle Olive Oil and Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar, this grilled chicken recipe delivers bold flavor without a complicated ingredient list. The Chipotle Olive Oil brings a warm, smoky heat, while the Pineapple White Balsamic adds bright tropical sweetness and a gentle tang that helps tenderize the chicken as it marinates.

This is the kind of recipe that feels special but is incredibly easy to make. The marinade comes together in minutes, the chicken grills beautifully, and the finished dish pairs perfectly with grilled zucchini, peppers, broccoli, rice, salad, or even sliced over warm tortillas for a fresh summer taco night.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup The Little Shop Chipotle Olive Oil
1/4 cup The Little Shop Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
2 cups sliced zucchini, bell peppers, broccoli, or your favorite summer vegetables
Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk together the Chipotle Olive Oil, Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar, honey, garlic, lime juice, Dijon mustard, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes, if using.
Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well coated.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken cooks, lightly toss the vegetables with a little Chipotle Olive Oil, salt, and pepper. Grill or sauté until tender.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the grilled chicken with the vegetables and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro. Drizzle with a little extra Pineapple White Balsamic before serving, if desired.
