Ingredients

4 Boneless skinless chicken breast halves

1/4 teaspoon Lemon-pepper seasoning

1 can (8 oz) unsweetened sliced pineapple

2 tablespoons Soy sauce

3 tablespoons Vegetable oil

1 tablespoon Vinegar

1 tablespoon Honey

1/4 teaspoon Ground ginger

8 cups Assorted vegetables (lettuce, red onions, carrots, sweet red pepper and broccoli)

Salted peanuts, optional

Preparation

Sprinkle chicken with lemon-pepper. Grill over medium-hot heat or broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 15-18 minutes or until juices run clear, turning once. Set aside and keep warm. Drain pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use); set pineapple aside. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, ginger and reserved pineapple juice; shake well. Brush some of the dressing over pineapple; grill or broil for 2 minutes. Cut chicken into strips. Arrange vegetables on serving plates; top with pineapple and chicken. Sprinkle with peanuts, if desired. Serve with remaining dressing.
