This is one of my family's favorite summer dishes. The kids love this filling salad's sweet dressing. While the chicken is grilling, I prepare the dressing and vegetables.—Stephanie Moon, Boise, Idaho.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened sliced pineapple
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
8 cups assorted vegetables (lettuce, red onion, carrots, sweet red pepper and broccoli)
salted peanuts, optional
Directions:
1. Sprinkle chicken with lemon-pepper. Grill over medium-hot heat or broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 15-18 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Set aside and keep warm. Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use); set pineapple aside. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and reserved pineapple juice; shake well. Brush some of the dressing over pineapple; grill or broil for 2 minutes. Cut chicken into strips. Arrange vegetables on serving plates; top with pineapple and chicken. Sprinkle with peanuts if desired. Serve with remaining dressing. Yield: 4 servings.
