  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki marinade sauce
  • 2 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced jalapeno pepper
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
  • 3/4 pound mixed salad greens
  • 1 (8 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained
  • 4 cups corn tortilla chips

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the chicken in a bowl, and cover with the teriyaki marinade sauce. Marinate at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. In a small bowl mix the tomatoes, onion, jalapeno pepper, and cilantro. Cover salsa, and refrigerate.
