Jerk Chicken Salad

(Picture Pending)
This is so easy and DELICIOUS!  It's a regular for our dinner swap.  And all the kids love it!

Carribean Jerk Marinade (I like the Safeway brand)
1 lb Chicken tenders or thighs (b/s)
1 medium pineapple, chopped (canned is good but fresh is better!)
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 green onions, sliced
2 heads romaine lettuce, torn in bite sizes
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
6 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled

Marinade chicken 1-2 hrs.  Season with some salt and pepper.  Grill and shred.  Combine all ingrediants in a big bowl.  Mix dressing in a smaller bowl and serve!  (You can put the dressing on before hand or leave it off for those people or kids who prefer ranch.)

Dressing:
2 limes, juiced
1/3 c. mayonnaise
2 Tbls. pineapple/apricot perserves

Hope you love it too!  Michele
