Step 1
Slice the pineapple into 4 rings, about 1/2-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the 1 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Add the 1/2 cup pecans and stir until coated and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
Step 3
Grill the pineapple rings over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, until grill marks appear and the fruit is juicy and slightly caramelized.
Step 4
Spread 1 oz of cream cheese on each warm pineapple ring. Top with the candied pecans and sprinkle with the 1 tbsp chopped chives. Serve immediately.
