PINEAPPLE CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
This makes a light enjoyable meal in the summertime, and also cut smaller, as a lovely hors d'oeuvre. Try sauteeing the chicken breast meat, (Recipe #226050), instead of poaching, it is much more flavorful. I usually add a little bit of finely chopped celery for a bit of crunch!

Tips:
- Choose ripe pineapple: Fresh pineapple is best for this salad, but canned pineapple can be used in a pinch. If using fresh pineapple, choose one that is ripe and juicy. A ripe pineapple will have a golden yellow color and a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Use quality chicken: Leftover cooked chicken is a great way to use up leftovers, but you can also use rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken. Just make sure that the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the salad.
- Add some crunch: This salad is all about the textures, so don't be afraid to add some crunch. Chopped celery, red onion, or water chestnuts are all great additions.
- Make it your own: This salad is very versatile, so feel free to add your own favorite ingredients. Some popular additions include grapes, raisins, chopped nuts, or even a bit of curry powder.
Conclusion:
Pineapple chicken salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give pineapple chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
