Pineapple Stuffed with Chicken Salad

This salad recipe will be a fresh option, which also includes vitamins and minerals, with Caribbean flavors. For the flavors to intensify, you can marinate the chicken one night before and if you don't have pineapple, you can use Eva® Italian lettuce leaves to make Caribbean chicken taquitos. This chicken salad can work as a main dish, which you only need to accompany with a white rice.
