I've never cut up a fresh pineapple and I probably could've looked it up on the Internet but it seemed sort of logical to chop off the top and bottom first.  I realize there's probably a machine that makes it round but I don't have one of those so I sliced down the sides.

Realizing those little pointy things have little holes, I sliced a little more down the sides and then dug out those little holes with a small knife.  To finish it off, I stabbed the center, from both sides, in the shape of an octagon and pushed the core out.  I should probably look up how to properly do it but that seemed to work well enough. :)



It's hard to go wrong with fresh fruit -- it was delicious!

Chicken with Strawberries and Grilled Pineapple

- four boneless chicken breasts
- two cups of diced fresh strawberries
- five 1/2 inch slices of fresh pineapple
- one large lemon
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Grill pineapple slices for two minutes on each side, transfer to a cutting board and dice.  Transfer to a bowl and combine with strawberries.

In a small bowl, combine paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.  Coat chicken breasts with mixture and grill for 4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear and center is no longer pink.

Place a chicken on a plate, squeeze lemon over chicken and top with strawberries and pineapple mixture.  Serve.
