I love to make a couple of batches of this Jar Chicken Salad with Pineapple and Potatoes for any potluck picnics I go to. Jar salads are so handy for potlucks because they are individually packaged so no sharing required from a big bowl. This recipe is really easy to double or triple too if you want to make salads for a crowd.
Start by cooking potato and carrot in boiling water. Dice when cool and set aside. Grill the chicken on both sides on a griddle. Season to taste with salt and pepper and dice into small chunks. Layer the salad into the mason jars, starting with a layer of potato and carrot followed by the remaining ingredients. Top with mayo and season to taste with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
To make Jar Chicken Salad with Pineapple and Potatoes, you will need the following ingredients:
Bring some water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Once boiling, add a teaspoon of salt, add the potatoes and the carrot. Boil until they are cooked through.
When the veggies are cooked, drain the water from them in a strainer and dice them. Set them to one side in separate bowls.
Grill both sides of the chicken fillets on a hot griddle. Once cooked through, season with salt and pepper and dice into small chunks. Set them to one side.
Add the ingredients to the mason jars in layers starting with potato and carrot, followed by chicken, celery and pineapple.
Top each salad with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place the lids on the jars and refrigerate until you are ready to eat.
I like to serve these straight from the jar at picnics.

Another jar recipe that has come to my attention! this and the taco salad are my all time favorite unique dishes.
Not bad but i think it would be better in a bowl so you get a bigger meal.
It's good just needs a few more spices other than that brilliant idea.
