Fruit is often a back-up ingredient or side dish at dinnertime, but it gets a co-starring role in this meal.

Ingredients

Directions

Open pineapple and strain to separate juice from fruit. Place juice in a baking dish. Add soy sauce, honey, garlic and red pepper to the dish and stir. Slice chicken breasts into 4 4-ounce strips. If thick, pound out to flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin. Place chicken in the marinade and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Prepare salsa by combining all ingredients. Preheat grill to medium heat or turn on broiler and place rack in the middle of the oven, about 6" away from the heat source. Grill or broil chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until the meat is no longer pink. Serve with fruit salsa.

Makes 4 servings, 3 ounces cooked meat and 1/2 cup of salsa

Good	Tried the chicken. I think it needed to be marinated longer. The salsa was delicious. It would be great to have some suggetions on what else to serve with the dish.	Submitted by: ACHIEVERBEE (8/24/09)

Very Good	Good stuff, I will make again. I made half the salsa without cilantro, onions and jalapeno. I like both my husband didn't like the onions. I marinated the chicken for 3 hours and it had lots of flavor.	Submitted by: JACQUEBB (9/21/09)

Incredible!	My husband and I loved it! I marinaded the chicken overnight and it had great flavor on its own. The fresh salsa was amazing - I can't wait to eat the leftovers. Thanks Chef Meg!!	Submitted by: CARADAWN (9/17/09)

Incredible!	Really good, but I was given a suggestion to use Woostershire Sauce rather than Soy Sauce. Might cut the Sodium.	Submitted by: GLENNSCSMI (9/12/09)

Very Good	My husband loved it, and I did, too. I was careful to grill the chicken breasts until not quite cooked through, then let them finish cooking wrapped in foil. They stayed very moist.	Submitted by: GRAMASUE11 (11/18/09)
