Pineapple Chicken Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette

Pineapple Chicken Salad With Balsamic Vinaigrette Serves: 8

Ingredients:

Salad

• 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

Dressing

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cooking Instructions:

• 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.
