Peppered Chicken, Pineapple and Arugula Salad image

Categories     Chicken     Sauté     Quick & Easy     Pineapple     Basil     Arugula     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 2 servings; can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 12 ounces total)
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
4 1/4-inch-thick rounds fresh pineapple
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons purchased citrus vinaigrette
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
4 cups (packed) fresh arugula

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken on each side with salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to plate. Sprinkle pineapple with salt and generously with pepper on both sides. Add to same skillet and sauté until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side.
  • Transfer to plate with chicken. Remove skillet from heat. Add wine to same skillet; stir, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in 1/4 cup vinaigrette and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place arugula in medium bowl. Add remaining 3 tablespoons vinaigrette; toss to coat. Divide salad between 2 plates. Slice each chicken breast crosswise into 4 slices. Arrange 4 slices atop each salad. Arrange 2 pineapple slices on each plate. Pour pan juices over salads and serve.

Tips:

  • To select the ripest pineapple, look for one with a golden yellow rind and a fragrant aroma. Avoid pineapples with green or brown patches.
  • If you don't have a pineapple corer, you can use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. Then, slice the pineapple into quarters and remove the core from each quarter.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until well combined.
  • To assemble the salad, combine the arugula, pineapple, cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
  • For a more flavorful salad, use a variety of greens, such as baby spinach, baby kale, or mixed greens.
  • You can also add other fruits to the salad, such as mango, papaya, or kiwi.
  • If you want a more substantial salad, add some grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Arugula pineapple salad is a refreshing and delicious salad that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and tangy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
