Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Let the butter melt, and coat the bottom of the pan. 
  • Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper.
  • Place chicken into hot skillet, and sear chicken in olive oil and butter mixture until browned, then flip and sear other side. About 3 minutes per side. 
  • Once both sides are seared, add pineapple juice to the pan, cover with a lid, and let simmer until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. About 5-7 minutes. 
  • Remove chicken from pan to a cutting board. Dice chicken into even sized pieces. Set aside to let cool. 
  • In a medium sized bowl combine the sauce ingredients, and stir until smooth. Taste, and adjust seasonings to preference. 
  • Prepare other ingredients: Halve grapes, dice celery, drain water chestnuts, and pineapple tidbits. Then combine everything in a large bowl and stir. 
  • Serve in lettuce, on croissants with green leaf lettuce, or eat over lettuce as a salad.
