Spicy Pineapple Chicken Salad

Boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenders (enough to fill a skillet)
1 large can crushed or chunked pineapple
Mrs. Dash seasoning- Original Blend
Romain Lettuce
Shredded Mozarella cheese
Strawberries or raspberries (optional)

Cook time: half hour to 45 minutes

Place frozen chicken pieces in a large skillet and pour in pineapple. Sprinkle seasoning over chicken and pineapple. Cover pan with lid and cook on med-high heat. Check chicken occasionally and leave the lid on the pan until the chicken is cooked through. While chicken is cooking, chop lettuce into a large bowl. Strawberries or raspberries may also be added for a sweeter, tangier salad. Remove the chicken and dice into small strips or pieces. Retrun chicken to pan. Simmer chicken peices and pineapple without the lid until most of the juice has evaporated (about 15 minutes). Remove pan from heat. While the chicken and pineapple are still warm, spoon a generous amount over your lettuce. Add desired amount of cheese immediately and allow the cheese to melt. Enjoy!
