Pick up a container of fresh  pineapple at the supermarket, cut it into chunks for the salsa. I  suggest serving with steamed broccoli and some whole wheat rolls. The  entire meal will be extremely filling and perfect for left overs. :) For  a quick easy way to steam broccoli continue reading after the main  recipe!
Serving size is 1 cutlet and 1/4 cup salsa
Ingredients
 1  				 				 					cup  				 				chopped fresh pineapple
2  				 				 					tablespoons  				 				chopped fresh cilantro
1  				 				 					tablespoon  				 				finely chopped red onion
1/3  				 				 					cup  				 				unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts
1  				 				 				(1-ounce) slice white (or wheat) bread
1/2  				 				 					teaspoon  				 				salt
1/8  				 				 					teaspoon  				 				black pepper
4  				 				 				(4-ounce) chicken cutlets [A thin slice of a medium sized chicken breast]
1 1/2  				 				 					teaspoons  				 				canola oil
Cooking spray
Cilantro sprigs (optional)
Preparation 
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a small bowl, tossing well.
2.  Combine peanuts and bread slice in a food processor; process  until  finely chopped. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken.  Dredge  chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Heat oil in a large nonstick  skillet over medium-high heat. Coat  pan with cooking spray. Add chicken  to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side  or until done. Serve chicken with  pineapple mixture. Garnish with  cilantro sprigs.
To Steam Broccoli
Use a microwave safe dish that is just big enough to hold all of the broccoli in a single layer.
For 1/2 pound of broccoli, add 1 tablespoon of water.
Cover with   plastic wrap. Be sure to leave a steam   vent in the corner.
Microwave on   high about 3-4 minutes
With a fork stab   the broccoli to check to see if it is cooked to your liking. Do not overcook.
