Grilled Pineapple Tarragon Chicken

This simple recipe is perfect for entertaining; serve with a rice pilaf to soak up the sauce.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

· 6 oz. can frozen pineapple or orange juice concentrate, thawed

· 1/4 cup pineapple preserves

· 1/4 cup honey

· 1 tablespoon olive oil

· 1 tablespoon minced fresh tarragon leaves or 1 teaspoon dried tarragon

· 1/4 tsp. salt

· 1/8 tsp. white pepper

· 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Tuna Tortellini

The key to this dish is the tuna canned in olive oil. The meat is more flavorful, with not many more calories, and the oil is necessary to finish the dish. If you can't find it, you'll need to add olive oil to the recipe.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

· 1 lb. refrigerated or frozen cheese tortellini

· 2 cups frozen baby peas

· 1 (12-ounce). can tuna in olive oil

· 1/2 teaspoon dried basil leaves

· Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Cook the tortellini in boiling salted water until tender, adding the peas for the last minute of cooking. Drain.

Meanwhile, drain tuna, reserving 3 tablespoons of the oil. Return tortellini and peas to pot and add the tuna along with reserved oil, basil, salt, and pepper to taste. Heat through, stirring gently.

You can sprinkle this with Parmesan cheese, but that makes four ingredients! Serves 4
