Whole Pineapple  
/4 Cup Walnut oil  
Tablespoon Chopped chervil  
/2 Cup Minced celery

Teaspoon Finely−chopped parsley  
Preheat the grill. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tablespoon  
of olive oil. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on  
each side. Using a sharp knife, split the pineapple in half. Using a paring  
knife, make a slit around the sides of the pineapple, leaving about 1/4−inch  
trim and remove the fruit. Reserve the pineapple boat. Remove the core from  
the fruit of the pineapple and cut into 1/2−inch slices. Season the  
pineapple slices with salt, pepper and remaining olive oil. Place the  
pineapple slices on the grill and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.  
Remove from the grill and cool. Reserve 2 slices of the pineapples and dice  
the rest of the fruit. Dice the cooled chicken. In a mixing bowl, add the  
two reserved slices of fruit. Using the back of a fork, mash the fruit  
against the side of the bowl. Add the walnut oil and whisk until emulsified.  
Stir in the chervil. Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper. In a  
mixing bowl. Toss the diced chicken, pineapple, red onions, celery, and  
walnuts with the dressing. Cover the salad and refrigerate for 1 hour.  
Remove both the pineapple boats and salad from the refrigerator. Spoon the  
salad into both pineapple boats. Garnish with chopped parsley. This recipe  
yields 2 servings.
