Cheddar’s Key West Chicken & Shrimp

Ingredients
 

  • Pineapple Pico de Gallo:
  • 3/4 cup diced fresh pineapple
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup minced jalapeno pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced tomato
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Chicken and Shrimp:
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup minced jalapeno peppers
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 lime, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

Instructions
 

  • Mix together pineapple, red onion, 1/4 cup finely chopped jalapeño, tomato, 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a non-reactive bowl until well combined. Chill in the refrigerator until needed.
  • In a bowl with a lid, combine orange juice, 1/2 cup of finely chopped jalapeño, white wine vinegar, zest and juice of 1 lime, avocado oil, honey, soy sauce, granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper. Stir until thoroughly mixed.
  • Evenly pound the chicken to a consistent thickness and place it in an 11x7-inch baking dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour, flipping halfway through.
  • Store the remaining marinade covered in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • After the chicken has marinated for 45 minutes, add the shrimp to the bowl with the reserved marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the shrimp from the marinade, leaving them slightly wet. Thread the shrimp onto metal skewers and chill until ready to use. Discard the marinade.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat. Clean and oil the grill grates using tongs and an oiled paper towel.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding the excess. Grill the chicken until cooked through, approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side, depending on thickness. The internal temperature should reach at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  • Grill the shrimp skewers until they are opaque and lightly charred, about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  • To serve, plate each chicken breast with pineapple pico de gallo on top. Arrange the grilled shrimp on top and garnish with lime slices and additional cilantro, if desired.
