Ingredients

1 can (8 ounces) sliced pineapple
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1 pound)

5 cups torn salad greens
1 small green pepper, julienned
1 small sweet red pepper, julienned
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

Directions

Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice. Set pineapple slices aside. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine the juice, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and cayenne; shake well. Brush some over pineapple slices; set aside.
Sprinkle both sides of chicken with pepper; grill or broil for 4-5 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Cut into strips.
Grill or broil pineapple for 2-3 minutes, turning often until browned. To serve, place the greens, peppers, mushrooms and onion in a large bowl; top with chicken and pineapple. Drizzle with remaining dressing. Yield: 4 servings.
