You should be left with two hollowed out halves of pineapple. 3 Chop the pineapple flesh, pepper and cucumber into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Strip the leaves off the thyme sprig, add to the salad and mix through. Pack each pineapple half high with salad. 4 Place the marinated chicken breasts on hot coals or on a hot grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Baste occasionally with olive oil to add to the charred flavour. 5 For the Dressing: Scoop out the pulp of the passion fruit into a bowl. Add the salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and lime juice, and mix thoroughly. 6 By now the chicken breasts should be cooked. Take them off the coals and cool slightly. Slice on the diagonal into 4-5 pieces and lay a breast over each pineapple half. Spoon over the passion fruit dressing and serve immediately. Converted by MC_Buster.
