Ingredients
- chicken
- 3 lbs chicken breast
- salt and pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- ½ cup pineapple juice
- sauce
- 1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
- 2 cups mayo
- The Rest
- 20 ounce can pineapple tidbits drained (reserve juice to use for chicken)
- 4 cups red grapes halved
- 1 ½ cups diced celery
- 10 ounce can water chestnuts minced, drained
- 1 cup slivered almonds
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.
