𝐆𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞-𝐆𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬
Ingredients
•6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
•1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice
•3/4 cup ketchup
•1/2 cup GF soy sauce or coconut aminos
•1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
•3 tablespoons of ginger, finely grated
•1 teaspoon red chili flakes for heat, optional
•4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
•1 tsp. vegetable oil, plus more for grill
•1 pineapple, cored sliced into rings, rings halved
•Thinly sliced scallions, for serving
•Salt & pepper to taste

𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
•In a large bowl, whisk garlic, pineapple juice, ketchup, soy sauce, brown sugar, red chili flakes, salt, pepper, and grated ginger until combined.

•Place chicken in a large storage container with an airtight lid or a resealable plastic bag. Pour in marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. The longer the better!

•Prepare a grill for high heat; preheat 5 minutes (or heat a grill pan over high heat). Clean and oil grates.

•Grill chicken, basting with marinade and flipping occasionally, until charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165°F, about 8 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

•In a medium bowl, toss pineapple with oil. Grill pineapple, flipping occasionally, until charred, about 2 minutes per side.

•Transfer chicken and pineapples to a platter. Top with scallions if desired and enjoy.

As with any recipe, this is simply a base guideline to build from. Make it your own by increasing, lowering, or omitting the herbs & spices or by adding additional herbs and spices. Switch out the sugar for honey or other sweeteners. You can add additional vegetables like sliced onion and bell peppers to the marinade too!
This recipe easily doubles or triples, no special alterations to measurements required.

No grill, no problem. This recipe is delicious prepared using a grill pan or even baked/broiled.

You want to use unsweetened pineapple juice if possible. If you can’t find unsweetened juice, you can reduce or omit the additional sugar/honey. Otherwise, you will find the marinade overly sweet.

You can replace the light brown sugar with honey if you’d prefer. Remember honey is sweeter than sugar so you will need less. Substitute 1/3 cup of honey in place of the 1/2 cup light brown sugar.

You could use bone in breasts or any other chicken pieces you preferred. Be sure to adjust the cooking temp/time to account for these changes if you do.

Many brands of ketchup are gluten-free but be sure to check the labels to be sure as manufacturing processes and product recipes can change quickly and without warning. If you have celiac disease or are especially sensitive to gluten, consider purchasing a certified gluten-free product.

Hi everyone, summer is here and has brough the heat with it! With it being so warm we're all trying to avoid heating up inside cooking, so we whipped up a recipe for a refreshing chilled soup gazpacho. This taste of summer is vibrant and refreshing,
perfect for hot summer days. Packed with fresh vegetables and bursting with flavor, this chilled soup is a healthy and delicious way to cool down. We hope you will give it a try and let us know what you think.

𝐆𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐳𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐨

𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝟒 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝟏𝟓 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝟐 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬

𝐈𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬
•10 roma tomatoes (about 2lbs)
•1 small green bell pepper
•Half a small red onion
•1 small cucumber
•1 large clove of garlic
•1 tsp sherry vinegar
•1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
•3/4 cup cold water
•A pinch of salt & pepper, to taste

𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡 - 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥
•Finely diced green bell peppers
•Finely diced onions
•Extra virgin olive oil

𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

Let’s start by washing & patting dry the tomatoes, bell pepper and cucumber.

Next, we will need to cut each tomato into 8 even sized pieces. For our bell pepper remove the seeds and cut it into large chunks. Finely dice half a red onion.

Peel the cumber, remove the seeds, and cut into small pieces, about 1 inch. Lastly, remove the outer skin of 1 large clove of garlic and cut into 3 or 4 pieces.

Using a large wooden spoon with the power off, push down on all the ingredients and compact them together. This makes it easier on the blender to bring all the ingredients together.

Now, we will add a generous teaspoon of sherry vinegar, a ¼ cup of extra virgin olive oil, ¾ cup of cold water and a generous pinch of fine sea salt

Blend on low speed for about 5 minutes. You may need to stop, and with the power off, use your wood spoon to push any chunks back down in the blender.

Transfer the gazpacho into a glass pitcher or serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap and add to the fridge for at least 2 hours

To serve the gazpacho, make sure you mix it in the pitcher or serving bowl before you serve it. You can garnish with diced green bell peppers, diced onions (any variety you prefer) and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil if desired. Add your favorite GF bread or croutons if you’d like!

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬
You may need to blend in batches, depending on the size of your blender. This is fine, you can mix the batches together in whatever you will use for storage or serving.

Sherry vinegar is GF and safe to use.

The best tomato varieties for gazpacho are typically fleshy juicy varieties with low seed content and balanced acidity that provide rich flavor and freshness to your gazpacho. These include Roma, Beefsteak, and many Heirloom tomatoes.
