The pampered chef, I was wary of trying this even though the picture looked amazing. I am not a big fan of super spicy. So I make chicken breasts instead of tenders. It was sooo good I had seconds and wanted thirds!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon jamaican jerk rub
1 lb chicken tenders
1 medium pineapple, sliced into sm pieces
1 red pepper
3 green onions
2 heads romaine lettuce
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 limes
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pineapple preserves
Directions:
1. Wisk together jerk rub and olive oil. Add chicken and coat all sides. set aside.
2. Slice pineapple into small chunks, or use a can or pineapple chunks drained.
3. Cook chicken on both sides till cooked, then set aside. Cook pineapple in pan 1 minute on both sides. Cook bacon either in the oven or in the pan, let drain then crumble.
4. Thinly slice red peppers and green onions. If you like arrange 12 lettuce leaves on a platter. Chop additional lettuce.
5. Make dressing by wisking together the zest of one lime, and juice of 2. Add mayonaise and pineapple preserves. I didn't have preserves so I added pineapple juice and a few mashed up pieces of the pienapple.
