1/4 cup lime juice
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions

In a bowl, combine pineapple juice, orange juice, lime juice, minced garlic, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
Place chicken breasts in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.

Slice the grilled chicken and serve it with chopped fresh cilantro, diced pineapple, and diced red onion.
