I’ve been making this recipe for years and everyone loves it! It may sound weird at first but it’s very satisfying and hits all the right notes with crisp field greens, chicken (I use grilled chicken tenders), sweet, fresh pineapple, savory roasted vegetables (don’t forget the cayenne for a little extra kick!) and rich, sharp Cabot cheddar cheese. SO good!
