Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 small fennel bulb (3/4 cup)
1 large pineapple (1 1/2 cups)
8 ounces skinless, boneless chicken
8 ounces fresh corkscrew pasta
8 large black Italian, Greek or French olives
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 teaspoon raspberry or balsamic vinegar
1 bunch arugula
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • If using a broiler, turn it on.
  • For the pasta, bring water to boil in a covered pot.
  • Wash, trim and chop fennel finely and place in large serving bowl.
  • Cut pineapple into small pieces. You will need about 3/4 of the pineapple to make 1 1/2 cups. Add to fennel.
  • If using a stove-top grill, prepare. Grill or broil chicken until it is brown on both sides, about 10 minutes, depending on thickness of pieces.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • Cut up olives and grate onion; add to bowl along with anchovy paste, mustards, Worcestershire sauce, yogurt and vinegar.
  • Wash, trim and dry arugula.
  • When chicken is cooked, remove and cut into julienne strips; add to bowl.
  • Drain pasta and add to bowl. Season with pepper.
  • Arrange arugula on two serving plates and top with chicken salad. Add two slices of crusty French or Italian bread.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly.
