- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthways. Rub chicken with 1/2 the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place capsicum and onion in a bowl. Add remaining oil. Toss to coat.

- Preheat a barbecue chargrill or chargrill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm. Add capsicum, onion and pineapple to chargrill. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until vegetables are tender and pineapple is charred.
