Ingredients (per serving):
- 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 red onion, sliced into thin strips
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
- 1/4 cup canned pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2-3 flour tortillas
Cooking Tips:
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Marinate the chicken in the teriyaki sauce and pineapple juice for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the meat.
- Don't overcook the chicken, as it can become tough and dry. Cook until it is just cooked through and no longer pink.
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, teriyaki sauce, and pineapple juice. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced bell peppers and onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened.
3. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until it is cooked through and no longer pink.
4. Add the canned pineapple chunks to the skillet and stir to combine.
5. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.
6. To assemble the fajitas, place a spoonful of the chicken and vegetable mixture onto a warm tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and serve.
