Yogurt Grilled Chicken Breast with Pineapple Roasted Red Pepper Salsa

I have been eating healthy, mostly, for the past few months and have lost over 35 lbs so far. I've had set backs but since the move to Montreal, things have been going well. Pierre has lost a few lbs too. So, I've decided to plan menus ahead. This will be a dish for next week. I've had it before and it's delish.
enjoy!
