CHICKEN SALAD IN PINEAPPLE BOATS
I love making this for summer lunches. It is so refreshing and light, and truly is simple to prepare. I used to work at a restaurant where this was the favorite lunch item, so I decided to start making it at home, and thanks to the chef who so kindly shared the recipe with me!
