Both chicken fillet and pineapple flesh have a rather weak taste of their own.
But both products are surprisingly susceptible to spices and ingredients of dishes with strong flavors.
It can be argued that both of these products are ultimately “fillers”.
They perfectly absorb the juices of other products and therefore they can be specially pickled, or simply soaked with juices or light wines.
And for fans of non-traditional cuisine there is such a little secret.
Boiled breast can be marinated overnight in syrup from a pair of pineapple cans. And those, in turn, soak a brackish marinade.

Salads with chicken fillet and pineapples - cooking tricks and helpful tips
• When boiling or roasting fillets, do not over-cook them. Cool boiled chicken without getting out of the broth. Otherwise the meat will be hard and dry.
• From cans, express the syrup or brine well. Before chopping, dry the products well from moisture. If this does not make the salad can “flow”.
• Squid cook no longer than the specified time. Overcooked squid meat becomes "rubber".
• Rinse the squid carcasses and turn them over. Clean the gut remnants well, so that the meat does not taste bitter after cooking.
• Put the mushrooms in a dry frying pan and start frying over high heat. Add oil only after all the moisture has evaporated. Make it ready by slightly lowering the flame level.
• To lubricate the salad layers take thin mayonnaise. It is easier to apply and the layers are impregnated not only better, but also faster.
• If we have such a set of products, then it is a sin not to write something. Take the classic “Olivier”. Peas replace sweet corn, instead of potatoes - sweet, nesochnye apples. Pineapples are suitable instead of cucumbers, white boiled meat marinated in a mixture of Madera and carbonated min. water Instead of mayonnaise - yogurt, and onions will replace the unripe pear sliced into strips. Do you think this is a children's snack? Do not guess! This is a great fortified salad, perfect for dinner with diets. Or, on the contrary, as the main course, shortly before intensive training.
