Step 1
Start fries in a skillet per package directions, stirring occasionally, so they finish near when the chicken does.
Step 2
Pat chicken dry. Mix minced garlic, orange juice, lime juice, and 1 tbsp oil in a small bowl—this is your mojo.
Step 3
Sear chicken in a hot dry skillet 4 minutes until golden, then flip and sear the other side 4 minutes until cooked through.
Step 4
Pour mojo over chicken in the skillet. Let it bubble for 60 seconds, coating the meat, then remove from heat.
Step 5
In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium-high and sear pineapple spears 2 minutes per side until caramelized and charred.
Step 6
Plate chicken with fries, sliced tomato, fresh lettuce, and grilled pineapple. Drizzle pan mojo over the top.
