Pineapple Chicken Fajitas

If there is something I love it is fresh veggies and fruit. I love them fresh and I love cooking with them. Recently I bought a pineapple, and the night afterward I wanted to make fajitas. It just naturally follows that I made Pineapple fajitas. I'm also trying to clean out our freezer and we had 2 chicken breasts left over from some other meal that we did not need them, so I took them out as well.

Pineapple Chicken Fajitas

Get your mise en plac.

Cut 1 red bell pepper and 1 green bell pepper into strips (you can also use a yellow pepper if you would like.) 

Slice one red onion as well. Cut a fresh pineapple into strips (about 1/2 to 1 cup of strips - if you do not have a fresh pineapple, you can use 1/2 to 1 cup of pineapple chunks.)

Cut two chicken breasts into strips. 

Heat about 1 Tbsp olive oil in pan over medium to medium high heat.

Add chicken and cook until done, turning once or twice.

While chicken is cooking, combine: 1 Tbsp corn starch, 2 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika

 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ground red pepper, and 1/4 tsp cumin. (This seasoning is a basic fajita seasoning and can be used with any fajitas.)

Add 2 Tbsp seasoning to chicken, remove from pan.

Add sliced peppers and onion to pan and cook until crisp tender.

While peppers and onions are cooking, combine the following: 

1/3 cup water, 1 tbsp honey, 1 Tbsp dried parsley, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt and the remaining fajita seasoning.

Add seasoning to veggies.

As well as the chicken and pineapple.

Combine and heat through.

Construct your fajitas. I spread sour cream across the tortilla, then place the fajita filling,

and top with cheese. Mozzarella cheese works wonderful as well as cheddar.

Enjoy!
