Ingredients

Serves 6 

  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
  • 1 (16-ounce) bottle Italian vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 1 (12-ounce) can pineapple juice
Directions
  1. 1

    Arrange chicken in a large shallow baking dish. Pierce meat with a fork.

  2. 2

    Combine dressing and pineapple juice in a medium bowl. Pour over chicken. Chill until ready to cook, at least 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Preheat broiler. Tear off a piece of aluminum foil twice as long as a broiler pan and place on pan. Arrange chicken on foil. Pour about 1/2 cup of the marinade over the chicken.

  4. 4

    Seal foil. Broil for 15 minutes. Open foil. Broil until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, about 5 minutes longer.

You can turn the leftovers into a delicious salad. Arrange the sliced leftover chicken over baby greens and then drizzle with vinaigrette dressing.
