GRILLED PINEAPPLE CHICKEN WRAPS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored and cut into 4-by-1-inch pieces
4 scallions, cut into 4-inch pieces
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Zest and juice of 1 lime
Zest and juice of 1 orange
1 tablespoon apricot jam
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the pineapple and scallions into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Place in the grill pan and cook, turning occasionally, until softened and evenly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the zests and juices of the lemon, lime and orange together with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the apricot jam, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix to combine and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, slice each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 thin pieces. Pound each piece to 1/2-inch thick and place in a shallow baking dish. Pour the citrus mixture over the chicken and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Remove the chicken from the marinade and lay it flat on a work surface. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 to 3 pineapple pieces and 2 scallion pieces in the center of 1 chicken fillet. Wrap the chicken around the pineapple and scallions and secure with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining chicken, pineapple and scallions to create 4 wraps in total.
  • Heat the grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken wraps, turning 90 degrees every 2 minutes, until evenly browned, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh pineapple and chicken will give your salad the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pineapple, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through before adding it to the salad. This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Shred the chicken into small pieces: This will make it easier to eat and will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to your salad. Some good options include carrots, celery, red onion, and bell peppers.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt-based dressing is a good option.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This will prevent the lettuce from wilting. You can also store the salad in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, but the lettuce will start to wilt after a few hours.

Conclusion:

Pineapple chicken salad lettuce wraps are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make meal. They're perfect for a light lunch or dinner, and they're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and refreshing meal that the whole family will enjoy.
