Chicken Salad In Pineapple Boats - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2/3 cup pineapple juice
    1/2 cup apple juice
    1/4 cup orange juice
    10 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
    1 medium pineapple
    1 cup strawberry, halved
    1 small apple, cored and diced
    1/2 cup orange section (no sugar added)
    1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    2 teaspoons grenadine or 2 teaspoons honey
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Preparation
    In a medium saucepan, combine pineapple juice, apple juice, and orange juice; bring to a boil.
    Add chicken; reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 10-15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
    Remove from heat; set aside to cool.
    Reserve cooking liquid.
    While chicken is cooling, cup pineapple in half lengthwise; remove and discard core.
    Scoop out pulp, leaving shells intact.
    Cover shells with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to use.
    Weigh 9 ounces pineapple pulp; reserve remaining pineapple pulp for use at another time.
    Cut pineapple pulp into chunks.
    In a large bowl, combine pineapple chunks, strawberries, apple and orange sections, tossing lightly.
    Cut cooled chicken into chunks or strips; add to pineapple mixture.
    Strain cooking liquid into small saucepan; add vinegar, grenadine syrup and allspice.
    Bring liquid to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
    Pour vinegar mixture over chicken mixture; toss well to combine.
    Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour, tossing several times to blend flavors.
    To serve, fill each pineapple shell with 1/2 the chicken mixture.
