Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces crushed pineapple
8 ounces Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened (can use mayo)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
1 cup cooked medium-grain* white rice, cooled
1/4 cup green onion slices
1/2 cup chopped Macadamia nuts
1/4 cup jicama, peeled and diced
8 ounces pineapple slices (rounds)
Note: It is important to use medium-grain white rice in this recipe - it is the only kind that remains soft when cold.

Steps:

  • Drain juice from crushed pineapple into a medium glass bowl; set aside the pineapple for later. Add cream cheese, salt and pepper to the juice and mix with a whisk or fork until thoroughly blended. Add chicken, rice, green onions, Macadamia nuts, jicama and the reserved crushed pineapple to the cream cheese mixture; stir gently until combined. Refrigerate mixture for 2 hours or until well chilled. To serve, line 4 salad plates with lettuce leaves if desired. Place a pineapple round on top of each plate. Mound chicken salad mixture onto center of pineapple round.
