Recipe Introduction


How to Select Pineapples
There should be no sign of greening. If the pineapple shows signs of greening, do not buy this one. The pineapple must be picked ripe or the starches will not convert to sugar. The leaves should be crisp and green with no yellow or brown spots. The skin of the pineapple should give slightly to pressure, though soft or dark spots are indications of over-ripening. The average sized pineapple weighs 2-5 pounds.



List of Ingredients




6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons cilantro -- chopped
2 teaspoons fresh ginger root -- minced
3/8 teaspoon salt -- divided
1 cup tomato -- diced, seeded, chopped roma
3/4 cup pineapple -- diced
1/4 cup green onion -- sliced
1 4 oz. can green chili -- drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter


Recipe



Make pineapple salsa by mixing together in small bowl cilantro, ginger, 1/8 teaspoon of the salt, tomato, pineapple, onion, chiles and lemon juice; set aside. In a frying pan, place butter and melt over medium heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté, turning about 6 minutes, or until light brown on all sides. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook about 5 minutes or until fork can be inserted in chicken with ease. Arrange chicken on serving platter and spoon pineapple salsa over chicken. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
