Directions
Preheat grill or cast iron grill pan to medium-high heat.

Drain pineapple slices and reserve juice. Season both sides of pineapple slices with 1/2 teaspoon of jerk seasoning; set aside.
In small saucepan, bring reserved pineapple juice, remaining 1/4 teaspoon jerk seasoning, and brown sugar to a boil over high heat. Reduce liquid by 1/2, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside.
Just before grilling, oil grate.
Place chicken breasts on grate and grill for 4 to 5 minutes per side or until cooked through.
Remove to platter and tent with foil.
Place pineapple slices on grate and grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side until grill marks appear and pineapple is heated through.
Serve chicken breasts with pineapple slices and warm sauce.
NOTE: Chicken may also be broiled 4 to 6 inches from heat source for 6 to 8 minutes per side. Broil pineapple 1 to 2 minutes per side.
