Italian Pineapple Chicken created by breezermom

From Taste of Home's "Five Ingredient Cookbook." Very easy and yummy! I might also try marinating the chicken in the salad dressing, grilling the individual components instead of sauteing, then slicing the chicken and serving on a bed of lettuce as a nice salad.

What an awesome recipe. I grilled the chicken and pineapple and used mozzarella cheese. I also used fat free Italian dressing. It was a hit with my husband and son. Definitely a keeper. Thanks for posting.

I made this as a grilled chicken recipe...it just seemed that this recipe cried out for the grill! I marinated the chicken breasts in the dressing for about 30 minutes. Then grilled over a medium hot grill for about 15 minutes total. I used the swiss cheese in the recipe. I think I'll try it with Provolone or Mozzarella next time...seems like a better pairing. DS loved this recipe. I loved the mix of the sweetness from the pineapple and the smokiness of the grilled chicken. This would make a fabulous sandwich! Thanks for posting. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
