Recipe of the Month
Pineapple chicken salad with balsamic
vinaigrette
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, each about 5 ounces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened pineapple chunks, drained except
for 2 tablespoons juice
2 cups broccoli florets
4 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions
Vinaigrette:
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cut each chicken breast into cubes. In a large, nonstick frying
pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and
cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes. In a large serving
bowl, combine the cooked chicken, pineapple chunks, broccoli,
spinach and onions. To make the dressing, whisk together the
olive oil, vinegar, reserved pineapple juice, sugar and cinnamon in
a small bowl. Pour over the salad. Toss gently to coat evenly. Serve
immediately.
