Chicken tenders are fab and all, but this grilled chicken pineapple bowl blows them out of the water. This healthy recipe will also make your typical Chipotle burrito bowl look basic as ever. Who wants a real bowl when you can use a pineapple?

You can easily cut the recipe in half (or double it) to accommodate the size of your appetite, but it’s a great dish to make when you have company because let’s face it, fruit bowls automatically make any food more interesting. But these Buddah Bowls do more than make you look cool, they are as healthy as they are delicious. Connect your mind and body, make a healthy conscious choice, and find your inner zen with this Buddha Bowl.
