Mojito-Rubbed Chicken with Grilled Pineapple

Grill much?  This was refreshingly yummy.  This had me at "grilled pineapple", but it's simple and has so much flavor with just a few ingredients.  We haven't changed a thing in the few times we've made this, except for maybe letting the lime/mint mixture sit on the chicken for a bit before cooking.  This was more out of timing on our part with an active 3-yr old!  When our schedules don't allow for a family dinner every night, sometimes we have to eat after she goes to bed.
