CHICKEN
1-1/2 tsp. chopped garlic
1/2 jalapeno, seeded and chopped
1 tsp. oregano
1 large shallot, chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, loosely packed
3 Tbsp. oil

Steps:

Let rest 1/2 hour at room temp. before grilling. PINEAPPLE SALSA Combine pineapple onion,jalapeno and salt & pepper in bowl and set aside. Just before using salsa, add 2 Tbsp. minced cilantro, adjust seasonings and stir well. Grill or broil chicken on both sides until just cooked through (do not overcook), about 6 min. per side, depending on heat of grill and thickness of chicken. Serve hot or at room temperature, topped with pineapple salsa, evenly divided. Garnish with remaining 2 Tbsp. cilantro and lime wedges. 318 calories per serving *I got this recipe out of the LA Times. It works best if you follow the directions and freeze the chicken as directed; I have tried making it all on the same day and it is not the same.

I'm not a fan of pineapple, but I loved the salsa in this recipe. It's sweet and tangy, but not overpowering. It's the perfect complement to the savory chicken.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover grilled chicken from a previous meal, and I used it to make this dish. It was just as good as if I had used freshly grilled chicken.
