Chicken Pineapple Fajitas

Hello World!  As a busy working mama, I'm always looking for quick, easy, and (mostly) healthy recipes to try and share.  This blog will be my forum to share new recipes and (hopefully) collect some from my readers.  When possible, I'll try to share pictures to spice up the fun, but to get the ball rolling, I'll start with one of our family favorites, Chicken Pineapple Fajitas.

Chicken Pineapple Fajitas - serves family of 4

Shopping List:

• 1 lb. boneless chicken breasts
• 1 large red pepper
• 2 TB Jamaican jerk seasoning (I use McCormick) - adjust to your preferred spice level
• 1 can of pineapple rings in their own juice
• 3 TB vegetable oil
• 1 pkg. whole wheat tortillas
• Shredded Mexican cheese blend
• Light sour cream (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

• Heat oil in pan
• Cut red pepper into 1 inch pieces and begin to cook in pan over medium heat
• Cut chicken into 1 inch pieces and add to pan
• Add Jamaican jerk seasoning and cook through until peppers are soft and chicken turns golden
• In a separate pan, I use a grill pan we have, heat pineapple rings until they begin to caramelize
• Cut pineapples into 1 inch pieces and add to chicken and pepper pan (cooking the pineapple in a separate pan then transferring does make a huge difference, take my word for it!)
• Serve chicken/pineapple/pepper mix in a warmed tortilla
• Add shredded cheese and sour cream to taste

The spice of the jerk seasoning and the sweetness of the pineapples compliment each other so well, that your family will surely want this added to the menu!  Enjoy!
