• 2 cans (8 ounces each) pineapple chunks
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons grated orange zest

• Dash pepper
• 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces)
• 4 cups ready-to-serve salad greens

1. Drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar, cornstarch, orange zest, basil and pepper. Gradually whisk in pineapple juice until blended.
2. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 to 2 minutes or until boils and is thickened, stirring every 30 seconds. Set aside, stir occasionally.
3. Place chicken in a greased 8-in. square microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes or until juices run clear, turning every 2 minutes. Let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Cut into thin strips.
