Mix tomatoes, pineapple, chile peppers, green onions, cilantro, lemon juice, and gingerroot in a large bowl; set aside.
Heat butter over moderate heat in a medium skillet. Add chicken breasts. Sauté, turning often, about 10-12 minutes, or until light brown on all sides. Cover; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook about 5 minutes or until tender.* Arrange on a platter; dress with pineapple salsa.
* Chicken Test for Doneness (per Washington Fryer Commission, 1994)
No matter what method you use for cooking chicken, the most accurate test for doneness is a meat thermometer. Since chicken is never ready to be served unless it is done, always be sure it is completely cooked. Whole or bone-in chicken should reach an internal temperature of 180 degrees, and boneless chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees.
