Using boneless chicken pieces will eliminate having to cut up the chicken and will make it easier to eat, too.

Tropical Crunch Salad
If strawberries are out of season, and unavailable, or priced too high, use 2 chopped peeled pears instead. Even when berries are in season and priced low, pears may be the better buy.
