For the salsa
- 1 avocado diced
- ¼ red onion diced
- 1 tbsp cilantro chopped
- Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
- Start by making the marinade. Add the lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, honey, and salt to a large bowl. Combine well.

- Once chicken is ready, preheat your grill to medium-high. Place the chicken breasts on the grill and cook for about 8 minutes on each side, or until charred and internal temperature reaches 165°F/72°C.
- While the chicken in grilling, prepare the salsa. Add pineapple, strawberries, avocado, red onion, lime juice, and cilantro. Stir together well and add salt and pepper.
- Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to plates and serve pineapple salsa on top.
