Grilled chicken and pineapple
This vibrant salad features both grilled chicken and grilled pineapple with a rich, caramelized flavor that's perfect for a summery meal. Paired with a crunchy cucumber and shredded carrot with a light sauce dressing, it's a delightful dish suitable for both humans and their pet companions.
Ingredients
Directions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Peel and cut the pineapple into slices.
- Finely chop the parsley.
- Dice the cucumber.
- Shred the carrot.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper (for human portions) and brush with olive oil.
- Brush the pineapple slices with a little olive oil as well to prevent sticking and enhance the grilling process.
- Place the chicken and pineapple on the grill. Cook the chicken for about 7-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). Grill the pineapple until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- While the chicken and pineapple are grilling, prepare the salad base by mixing the diced cucumber and shredded carrot in a large bowl.
- Create the dressing by combining the chopped parsley with two tablespoons of olive oil in a small bowl. For the human portion, add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar.
- Once grilled, let the chicken and pineapple cool slightly, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Add the grilled chicken and pineapple to the salad base and toss with the herb dressing.
- Serve the plain portions to dogs and cats, ensuring no dressing with lemon juice or vinegar is added.
- For human servings, enhance with additional salt, pepper, and more dressing as desired.
Cooking tips for pets and humans:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Avoid avocado and anything containing caffeine or alcohol as these can be harmful to your pets. Onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and raisins as well as certain nuts can be deadly to dogs or cats.
Seasoning: Keep dishes bland for pets. Dogs and cats can be very sensitive to salt and spices, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. It’s best to remove a portion for your dog or cat before adding any seasonings for your own servings.
Consult your vet: New foods should always be checked with a veterinary doctor before being fed to dogs or cats. This is important because it ensures safety and proper measurements, especially considering that different animals have varying nutritional needs based on health condition, age and size.
