Wash chicken and pat dry with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, olive oil, ginger, garlic, lime juice and lime zest. Marinate chicken in the soy/ginger marinade for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
From the top of the pineapple down, slice 4 pieces of pineapple bark off of the pineapple, leaving a little of the flesh pineapple on the bark. Brush them with olive oil on the outside skin of each pineapple bark "plank".
Place a chicken breast on top of each pineapple bark "plank"; secure with baker's twine that's been soaked in water so that it doesn't burn. Season with salt and pepper, to taste Place the chicken side down onto a preheated grill on a medium-high heat to sear; flip over to complete cooking. Cover grill; cook until done or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, total time about 30 minutes.
Serve with fried rice, a simple salad and perhaps a Pina Colada.
4 servings.
