Why I Love This Recipe

I am always looking for easy grilled chicken recipes. When I was at the grocery store, they had a pineapple cut in 1/2 that looked so succulent, for only $1. I had to get it. I put a little of this and a little of that together, and it came out fantastic. Let me know how you like it!


Ingredients You'll Need

For the Marinade mix together:
• 2 tbs. soy sauce
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, minced
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tbs. ketchup
• ¼ rice vinegar
• 1 tbs. olive oil
• 1 tbs. Montreal Steak Seasoning
• 1 tsp. black pepper
8 thinly sliced chicken cutlets
For the Salad:
• 4 cups of washed and sliced lettuces. I prefer heartier varieties such as romaine , iceberg and red leaf lettuces.
• 2 cucumbers, peeled with seeds removed and cut in small pieces
• a mixture of tomatoes sliced. I like cherry, grape and Campari
• ½ cup diced red onion
• ¼ cup cilantro leaves (optional)
• ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese (optional)
Chipotle Lime Dressing
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 2 tbs. blue agave syrup or honey
• 2 tbs. water

Slice Pineapple in 1" wedges
Sprinkle with Cinnamon sugar
Grill for 2 minutes per side


• ½ tsp. black pepper
• ½ tsp. dried chipotle powder

• 1 tbs Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise (optional for a creamier dressing)
• Shake all ingredients together in container. Refrigerate until ready to use.


Directions

Grill chicken for 4 minutes per side. Set aside to rest


Chop, slightly cooled chicken in ¼” chunks. Place on top of salad.
