Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 cup red cabbage
- 1 large (shredded) carrots
- 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
- 8 pieces flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and seal the bag. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
While the chicken marinates, prepare the slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Toss with a squeeze of lime juice and set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
In the same pan, grill the pineapple chunks for about 1-2 minutes per side, until they are slightly caramelized.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by layering the sliced chicken, grilled pineapple, and slaw onto each tortilla.
Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of these Hawaiian soft tacos!
