Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • ½ cup teriyaki marinade sauce

  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño pepper

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard

  • ¼ cup honey

  • 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons cider vinegar

  • 1 ½ teaspoons lime juice

  • ¾ pound mixed salad greens

  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained

  • 4 cups corn tortilla chips

Directions

  1. Place chicken in a bowl and cover with teriyaki marinade sauce. Marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

  2. In a small bowl mix tomatoes, onion, jalapeño pepper, and cilantro. Cover salsa and refrigerate.

  3. In a small bowl mix mustard, honey, sugar, oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Cover dressing and refrigerate.
