I recently saw an idea for cooking chicken or pork in pineapple salsa. That sounded good to me, so I added pineapple salsa to a list of food to find. Finally, I found it at Trader Joe's. Using a method I have long used for cooking chicken in a skillet with water, (https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/chicken/weight-watchers-fried-chicken.html?r=41), I formulated this recipe. When I tasted the salsa alone, I knew I needed to tone down its flavors, so I added the pineapple tidbits and honey. The result was tasty!!
