This Grilled Chicken Pineapple Bowl Transports Your Tastebuds to Hawai’i

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Syracuse chapter.

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.

Heyyoo, I'm Caroline, but everyone calls me Carol. I'm from Chicago, IL and I can most likely be found at The Second City cracking jokes and moving to make it on the big screen one day. Otherwise, I'm at Syracuse University studying it up in the 315 and avoiding terrible campus food at ALL costs. On top of my humorous lifestyle (I'm THAT person where only THAT would happen to), I love to explore the beautiful outdoors by hiking, rock climbing, or and type of crawl that deems necessary at a treacherous point. Check out my vids-- hope ya dig them!
